(Good Data Corporation standard) It also received the Presidential Citation at the 14th "Population Day" commemoration, showing the dignity of a "national parenting variety show."
The 614th episode of 'The Return of SUPERMAN,' which airs on the 25th (Wed), is the "I came to experience being a dad!" episode, featuring MC Kim Jongmin and Lalali, in which 14-month-old Haru goes on an outing to a dog café with his dad Shim Hyungtak and his close friend, the pet dog kimbap.
In particular, Haru's appearance showing off "puppy charm" among the dogs causes hearts to flutter. He perfectly pulls off a brown dog ear headband, boosting his cuteness score. The large dog ears hanging down on either side of his face and Haru's gentle smile naturally send the cheeks soaring. It is said that even the dogs, captivated by Haru's puppy charm, gather around him.
When the dogs approach, Haru waves his hand to greet them and shows affection by gently petting them. Then, letting out excited babbling like "waahkkyaakkyaak," he meets his dog friends and expresses how thrilled he is, making his dad Shim Hyungtak look pleased.
Meanwhile, Harin, Haru's first girlfriend in life, appears in front of Haru, who is playing excitedly with the dogs, stealing Haru's attention. Haru shows interest when he sees Harin with a crescent-eye smile and babbling, then greets her first and actively approaches her. Harin also crouches down in front of Haru and begins to observe him. As eye contact between Haru and Harin begins, Shim Hyungtak cannot hide a smile, saying "Our Haru already seems to be having a meeting," and reportedly gave a storm of support for Haru making friends.
What kind of charm cute Haru, radiating puppy appeal, will show in front of his first girlfriend in life, and Haru's first-ever girlfriend-making can be seen on the original broadcast of 'The Return of SUPERMAN.'
