KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' will reveal 'Haru's doljabi.'
'The Return of SUPERMAN' (directed by Kim Youngmin, hereafter 'The Return') has been loved by the public for 13 years since its first broadcast in 2013. Following Eunwoo in 2023, in the second and third weeks of June 2025, in the TV-OTT non-drama category's celebrity topicality segment, 'The Return' Jungwoo ranked within the top 10 for two consecutive weeks, proving he is the youngest, strongest topicality sibling, and in the second week of August 2025 in the same category, 'The Return' Haru and Shim Hyungtak simultaneously entered the top 10, proving viewers' strong interest. (based on Good Data Corporation) Also, last July he received the 'Presidential Citation' in commemoration of the 14th 'Population Day,' showing the dignity of 'national childcare entertainment.'
Episode 609 of 'The Return' airing on the 18th is the 'Haru, haru, already one year' episode and features MC Kim Jongmin and Lalla. In particular, Haru's first birthday doljanchi will be shown on television for the first time. Especially, curiosity arises about which item Haru will choose in the doljabi, the highlight of the doljanchi.
With various items such as a stethoscope, thread, money, a microphone, a judge's gavel, a pencil, an employee ID card, and noodle strands placed on the doljabi table, each family has different preferred doljabi candidates, drawing attention. Mother Saya said, "I used to be an office worker, and I think it would be good if Haru did office work too, so I hope he picks the employee ID card," and father Shim Hyungtak confessed his inner thought, "Of course I'm for the microphone." Haru's maternal grandfather from Japan placed 120-year-traditional homemade noodle strands on the dol table and marked Haru as the successor of a family business carried on for four generations.
At the shout of "Haru, grab it," Haru brightened his big eyes and scanned the items one by one, stretched out his small, delicate hand and then paused, engaging in doljabi tug-of-war. Haru teased the guests by starting to pick an item, stopping, then turning direction and reaching out, displaying exceptional star quality. When Haru grabbed his "one pick", loud cheers and applause erupted. Above all, it is said that Haru's choice made his father and mother, who had wanted different doljabi candidates, smile together.
What did Haru ultimately grab after the doljabi tug-of-war, and what was the doljabi result that made both his father and mother burst into big smiles is now a source of curiosity.
KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
