In KBS2's "Return of Superman," Shim Hyung-tak's 6-month-old son, Haru, ranks high in the infant health check results.
"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, in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of June, Haru ranked in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT non-drama institutional sector's grants topicality section, proving he is the youngest top star in terms of topicality.

Additionally, at the 14th "Population Day" ceremony hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in July, the show received a "Presidential Citation", showcasing the prestige of the "national childcare entertainment" program. Furthermore, the subscriber count of the official "Superman" YouTube channel surpassed 1 million, becoming the first among KBS's program-specific YouTube channels, demonstrating its immense popularity. The 585th episode of "Superman", airing today (13th), is titled "A Wonderful Summer Day" and features 3 MCs—Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi—along with Super Dad Shim Hyung-tak, where Haru undergoes an infant health check, drawing attention.
As Haru begins the physical size measurements that indicate growth, including height, weight, and head circumference, he captivates the doctor with his bright smile, bringing joy to those watching. Recently, Shim Hyung-tak expressed concern that Haru's weight had decreased by 0.2 kg, but the doctor reassured him, saying, "Haru's weight is in the top 3%", indicating that the weight loss was not a cause for concern, which elicited laughter.
Haru also ranks at the top in height and head circumference, confirming he is a giant baby and surprising everyone. In particular, Shim Hyung-tak expressed joy at the fact that Haru's head circumference ranks at the top, saying, "It's great to rank high in anything." When Choi Ji-woo asked, "Are you saying Haru has a big head?" Shim Hyung-tak responded, "I think his head circumference was measured large because of his hair," which reportedly caused a lot of laughter on set.
Meanwhile, Haru captures attention with his angelic smile even in the unfamiliar hospital environment. Haru, upon hearing the doctor's call, will charm viewers with his bright smile and playful cooing, melting the hearts of online aunts and uncles. It has been reported that Haru, who never loses his smile in any situation, will also take on his vaccination today, drawing interest in whether the gentle "smile angel" Haru can smile through his shot.
Haru's remarkable physical results and vaccination experience will be revealed in today's airing of "Superman."
