In KBS2's 'The Return of Superman,' Ye-rim's daily childcare helpers will be Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong from ITZY, 'the direct juniors of JYP.'
'The Return of Superman' (hereafter 'Superman'), which has been loved by the public for 12 years since its first broadcast in 2013, features Choo Sung Hoon, Choo Sa-rang, Song Il-gook with the triplets, Lee Dong-guk and his five daughters, Sam Hammington and the Wilbon brothers, Sayuri and Zen, Kim Joon-ho and the Eun-woo and Jung-woo brothers, Jasson and Jun-beom, and highlights the valuable meaning of parenting by illuminating various family forms and helping parents unfamiliar with childcare discover happiness through their children.
The episode 576 of 'Superman,' airing on the 4th (Wed.), will feature 3MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi, along with Superman Kim Joon-ho and Woo Hye-rim. Among them, Woo Hye-rim's first son, 38-month-old Si-woo, will charmingly meet the girl group ITZY sisters, showing a different side from his usual self. The typically confident 'taekwondo boy' Si-woo shows a shy demeanor with his sister, maintaining a crescent-eyed smile. Si-woo demonstrates his own version of the 'shoulder dance' representing ITZY, bursting out with charm, leading Ye-ji to remark, 'You're cuter in person!' becoming captivated with Si-woo.
In the meantime, Ye-ji draws attention by asking Si-woo, 'Are we the ITZY sisters or aunts?' Previously, Si-woo had flustered when he unexpectedly referred to Kang Joo-eun as 'grandma,' so Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong nervously await Si-woo's response. In a tense moment, when Si-woo shyly answers 'sister,' Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong break into applause and cheers, eliciting laughter.
Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong each take care of 38-month-old Si-woo and 148-day-old Si-an, showcasing perfect parenting teamwork. Ye-ji energetically engages with Si-woo, demonstrating 'action parenting' by jumping and rolling around, while Chae-ryeong, taking care of 148-day-old Si-an, displays her skilled caregiving with adept hand movements as a childcare expert.
Chae-ryeong expresses her confidence, saying, 'I have a younger sibling that's 5 years younger, so I'm confident in childcare,' and completes Si-an's perfect routine, proving her childcare skills. Woo Hye-rim candidly confesses she hoped they wouldn't go home, appreciating Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong's solid support. As a result, attention is directed to the upcoming broadcast of 'Superman' featuring the ideal chemistry between Si-woo, Si-an, and the childcare duo, Ye-ji and Chae-ryeong.
'The Return of Superman' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
