Additionally, 'Superman Returns' recorded a 3.6% viewership rating nationwide, continuing its rapid rise in ratings (according to Nielsen Korea).
On this day, Shim Hyeong-tak and his son Haru made an appearance, stealing the hearts of online aunties and uncles. Shim Hyeong-tak fulfilled his dreams by doing things he wanted to do with his son one by one. From wearing matching character hairbands and doing face masks to reading comic books together at their favorite comic store, he created memories with Haru.
Especially, the charming baby Haru exploded with cuteness, causing smiles to explode. Haru, wearing a couple character hairband with his dad and grinning widely, radiated immense cuteness with his two newly emerging lower teeth. He showcased the essence of adorable eating as he tackled his first experience with a tteok-bbang (rice cake) by using his tiny teeth to munch on it.
Shim Hyeong-tak was moved by Haru's daily growth. From Haru holding his own bottle and drinking milk to using his tiny teeth to eat, these moments were first-time experiences for dad Shim Hyeong-tak as well. Shim Hyeong-tak noted, "Every day with Haru is refreshing," sharing that every experience while raising Haru feels new and thrilling, resonating with the audience.
Additionally, the character-rich Lalala made her debut as a 'super mom' by introducing her 12-month-old daughter Seobin for the first time on the show. Lalala and Seobin looked remarkably alike, stirring excitement in 'Superman Returns.' Lalala shared, "I ran around so much taking care of Seobin that I lost a toenail," discussing her hectic parenting life.
Particularly, Seobin showcased her unique presence with her different eating style. When the flow of solid food was interrupted, she demanded food with a storm of shouting, drawing attention. After cleaning up her solid food, Seobin demonstrated her eating prowess by downing 120ml of formula in just 2 minutes and 45 seconds, to which Park Soo-hong exclaimed, "Wow, I've never seen a baby like this before," marking the emergence of a new eating star. While Seobin captured everyone's attention with her eating, Lalala, who sacrificed her meal to attend to Seobin, generated empathy among parents. Lalala humorously shared, "Though it's tough, it makes me ten times happier," adding, "I will eat when Seobin grows up to be a wonderful person."
Meanwhile, Lalala expressed, "As a working mom, I feel guilty for not being able to play much with my child, which makes me self-critical," stating, "After hearing that 'Parenting is about quality, not quantity,' I always try my best to play with her." Lalala mentioned, "I have to have impactful playtime with Seobin in a short period, so I tried transforming myself," showcasing a rapidly aged look with a curly wig and community leader-style outfit to summon 'Lee Myung-hwa.' Seobin maintained her calm during her mother's transformation, flaunting her cuteness with the wig and casual outfit while performing a vibrant dance to her mother's song, capturing the hearts of online aunties and uncles.
Lalala confessed that after giving birth to Seobin and parenting her, she became an advocate for pregnancy. She stated, "I was averse to marriage, but my perspective on the world changed with marriage and childbirth," reflecting, "I wonder how wonderful it would have been if I had known the joy of raising a child in my twenties." She continued, "Seobin is my everything," adding, "I'm fine with my body breaking down. Seeing a happy child brings me immense joy," sparking empathy while stating that the time spent with Seobin is immensely fulfilling, even amid her busy life.
