In KBS2's "The Return of Superman," Shim Hyung-tak begins cooking in earnest, confident in his son Haru's "deep sleep."
'The Return of Superman' (directed by Kim Young-min, hereafter referred to as 'Superman') has been loved by the public for 13 years since it first aired in 2013. Following Eun-woo in 2023, Jung-woo of 'Superman' ranked in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks in the third week of June in the TV-OTT non-drama institutional sector appearance topic, proving to be the youngest brother of the strongest topic. (Good Day data).
Additionally, at the 14th 'Population Day' ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in July, he received the 'Presidential Commendation,' showcasing the prestige of 'national parenting entertainment,' and the number of subscribers on the official 'Superman' YouTube channel surpassed 1 million, making it the first among KBS's program-specific channels to do so. The 585th episode of 'Superman,' which will be aired on the 13th (Wednesday), is titled 'On a Wonderful Summer Day' and features MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi alongside Superman Shim Hyung-tak.
Shim Hyung-tak presents a new lullaby for his son Haru, who is 6 months old, not an old traditional one. As Shim Hyung-tak sings a verse of the lullaby, Park Soo-hong and Choi Ji-woo burst into laughter as they sing along in unison. The song chosen by Shim Hyung-tak for Haru's deep sleep is Lee Sang-woo's 'Sad Picture-Like Love,' a song released in 1988. The choice of song unites late-blooming dad Shim Hyung-tak and late-blooming mom Choi Ji-woo, turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
Meanwhile, Shim Hyung-tak, who had revealed that he was on a forced one meal a day regimen after starting parenting, clenches his fists in determination as he is convinced that his son Haru has fallen into a deep sleep and begins preparing a proper meal, catching attention. He stated, "Since I only eat one meal a day, I wanted to eat properly," and revealed his excitement about the menu choice, saying, "Today's menu is buckwheat noodles and very spicy bibimyeon."
Following Shim Hyung-tak's determination in plating the bibimyeon and buckwheat noodles, the MCs are surprised by his sincerity. Shim Hyung-tak starts grating radish to accompany the buckwheat noodles, putting strength into his forearms, while diligently preparing boiled eggs and cucumbers, pouring his heart into the plating. However, MC Ahn Young-mi, watching this scene, remarked, "I feel like he might wake Haru up," looking at Shim Hyung-tak with a worried expression, creating a sense of tension.
As Shim Hyung-tak pours his time and effort into preparing a delicious meal from cooking to plating, confident in Haru's deep sleep, attention is drawn to whether he will successfully clear the buckwheat noodles and bibimyeon. This week's 'Superman' live broadcast is highly anticipated.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's 'The Return of Superman' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
