KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' Lee Jong-beom begins special training to awaken the baseball talent of his grandson Ko Tae-hyun, who has golden baseball DNA.
'The Return of SUPERMAN' (directed by Kim Young-min, hereafter "The Return of SUPERMAN") has been loved by the public for 13 years since it first aired in 2013. On the second week of June 2025, following Eun-woo in 2023, in the TV-OTT non-drama participant topicality category, "The Return of SUPERMAN" Jung-woo entered the top 10 for two consecutive weeks, proving they are the youngest most talked-about siblings, and in the second week of August 2025 in the same category, "The Return of SUPERMAN" Haru and Shim Hyungtak simultaneously entered the top 10, proving viewers' intense interest. (Good Data Corporation standard) Also, last July they received the presidential citation in commemoration of the 14th "Population Day," showing the prestige of a "national parenting variety show."
The 610th episode of "The Return of SUPERMAN," which airs Wednesday the 25th, is the "a better day together" episode with MC Kim Jongmin and LALLAL.
Lee Jong-beom sensed golden baseball DNA when he saw Tae-hyun's natural muscles and calf power. To awaken Tae-hyun's talent, he embarks on a "special training" disguised as play.
Tae-hyun, wearing the San Francisco Giants uniform gifted by his uncle Lee Jung-hoo, who is active in Major League Baseball and reportedly earns 161 billion won per year, excites his grandfather Lee Jong-beom by starting a storm of pitching like his father Ko Woo-seok as soon as he sees the ball. Then, seeing Tae-hyun instinctively try to hit the ball while holding the bat with one hand, Lee Jong-beom's mouth lifts to the sky. LALLAL laughs and says, "You can tell grandpa feels good just from Tae-hyun holding the bat," bursting into laughter at Lee Jong-beom's transparently revealed feelings.
Tae-hyun shows his excitement with his whole body during grandfather-style special training. After hitting a home run, Tae-hyun runs around the gym as if circling the field, showing running skills that recall his grandfather's nickname "son of the wind." While sprinting endlessly, he even slides toward the mat, foreshadowing the birth of an "energizer stealing genius" and sending his grandfather's cheeks soaring. Lee Jong-beom shouted in joy, "Age sliding! Grandpa wanted that," then noted, "The sports world may pay attention to Tae-hyun," revealing his doting grandfather side, the report says.
You can see grandson Tae-hyun's all-rounder baseball talent that made grandfather Lee Jong-beom's cheeks soar in the full broadcast of "The Return of SUPERMAN."
KBS 2TV 'The Return of SUPERMAN' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
