On KBS2's The Return of SUPERMAN, singer KCM revealed his beloved family for the first time in 13 years, moving viewers to tears as he explained why he had been unable to reveal them and expressed his love for his family.
The 606th episode of The Return of SUPERMAN, which aired on the 28th (directed by Kim Youngmin, hereafter "The Return"), was titled "I'll protect the princess' dad" and featured MC Kim Jongmin and LALALY. The broadcast introduced the new Superman KCM, his wife, who resembles Min-ji in beauty, and their second daughter Seoyon, and showed Shim Hyungtak and his son Haru celebrating their first new year. At the same time, The Return recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 3.8%, ranking first among variety programs in the same time slot and continuing its unstoppable rise. (Nielsen Korea)
KCM confessed everything from his first meeting with his wife, who is nine years younger, to the marriage news and the reasons he had to delay revealing that he had children. Recalling when his wife was pregnant with their first child, he said, "At that time I was tens of billions in debt," adding, "I could not let my family suffer the pressure of the debt collectors who were driving me to collapse." In particular, he admitted, "I couldn't proudly show up where a father was needed, like sports days and graduation ceremonies," saying, "I feel very sorry and regretful toward my family." KCM, tearing up, expressed his desire to give them what he had been unable to provide, saying, "I want to make memories that everyone else has."
The muscular KCM was a devoted, doting father 'Ke-ppa' who was affectionate to the core. With gentle touches that contrasted with his rugged arms, he tied his second daughter Seoyon's hair and showed his affection with sweet words dripping with honey, saying, "What will we do if you become even prettier than you are now?"
He was a sweet husband to his wife. He prepared meals for his wife, who was 34 weeks pregnant, and skillfully cut fruit. KCM, who was not present when his first, Suyeon, and second, Seoyon, were born, vowed to be present for the expected birth of their third child, Bokdam (nickname). When KCM, who has not yet held a wedding ceremony, asked, "How about having a small wedding?" his wife, choked up, replied, "I think I'll cry." KCM expressed gratitude, saying, "I have no money and no savings, but my wife trusted me and asked for a little time until the day we can have an ordinary family," and, "She didn't show hardship even though I didn't let people know for 13 years." Kim Jongmin and LALALY admired and were moved, saying, "What luck to have such a wife."
KCM's second daughter Seoyon exploded with lovable charm from her first appearance, inheriting her father's talent and her mother's beauty. After pulling her father's hair to give him a surprise kiss and attaching a hand-held microphone to deliver soulful, powerful high notes, Seoyon's lovely charm captured the hearts of online aunts and uncles. Noting her singing ability, which resembles her father's, LALALY said, "She looks like she'll become a star," predicting a future idol.
Even on her first trip to Jeju alone with her father, Seoyon did not look for her mother and enjoyed quality time with her father. When Seoyon hugged KCM tightly and said, "Today was so much fun. I love you, Dad," MC Kim Jongmin confessed his envy, saying, "This is why they say 'daughter, daughter.'" KCM, whose worries melted away at Seoyon's "I love you," shed tears of emotion. In particular, after making a memory with his second daughter Seoyon, he vowed, "If I have the chance, I want to make memories with our daughters together with their dad."
Meanwhile, the first new year celebration for Haru, who was 359 days old, delighted online aunts and uncles. Dressed in casual hanbok and showing an adorable appearance, Haru had new experiences for the new year. He learned the formal New Year bow, played yut for the first time, and enjoyed traditional Japanese play from his mother's country, learning more about the world.
For the new year, he also experienced his first-tasting dumpling soup. Instead of flour, the dumplings were coated with starch and boiled; Haru cleared the broth to the last drop and learned to express "delicious" with his whole body. Stage one was a smiling expression, stage two was intense leg kicking, and stage three was a thumping dance that made his father proud of the meal he prepared.
Now that Haru is one year older, he can do more things. Watching Haru move step by step holding the wall, Kim Jongmin and LALALY were surprised, saying, "Isn't Haru walking right now?" Haru then succeeded in standing alone for 10.46 seconds. Father Shim Hyungtak was moved by Haru's growth, saying, "He is independent on his own. I'm truly proud."
