Following Eunwoo in 2023, in the second and third weeks of June 2025, in the TV-OTT non-drama institutional sector grants popularity category, 'The Return of SUPERMAN' Jungwoo proved he and his brother are the youngest most talked-about siblings by entering the top 10 for two consecutive weeks, 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' strong interest.

Kim Jun-Ho, who discovered Eunwoo and Jungwoo's athletic DNA, is unable to hide his excitement as if he has found a national team prospect in Haru's thigh strength that lets him stride up onto the sofa. Kim Jun-Ho presents a training course to boost Haru's strength as if he were entering an athletes' village. Here, Jungwoo, who possesses the "top 1% exercise DNA," is selected as an instructor. Jungwoo says, "Haru, watch what hyung is doing," as he smoothly demonstrates on the horizontal bar, then grasps climbing holds one by one and quickly conquers the summit, drawing admiration.
Haru stares intently at Jungwoo's demonstration, then grips the horizontal bar tightly with his cute little hands like Jungwoo. After wiggling his feet to gain momentum, Haru succeeds in laying his belly on the bar, and Kim Jun-Ho marvels, saying, "He definitely has athletic sense."
Buoyed by strong momentum, Haru challenges a climbing wall with a 60-degree incline. Jungwoo cheers, "Haru, you can do it," and Kim Jun-Ho encourages him, "It's not hard. It's confidence! Try it once!" Haru stretches out his adorable hand to grip the holds firmly and begins to step up one foot at a time. Kim Jun-Ho cannot stop praising him, saying, "He's strong. He has grit. The fact that he can hold on and climb is amazing."
Whether Haru can successfully complete the climbing ascent amid the cheers from national team uncle Kim Jun-Ho and Eunwoo and Jungwoo can be seen in the broadcast of 'The Return of SUPERMAN.'
