KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' day draws attention as Haru, at 14 months old, succeeds in taking his first steps.
'The Return of SUPERMAN' (directed by Kim Youngmin, hereafter 'The Return of SUPERMAN') has been loved by the public for 13 years since it first aired in 2013. Following Eunwoo in 2023, in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of June 2025, Jungwoo ranked in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks in the TV-OTT non-drama institutional sector grants popularity category, and in the 2nd week of August 2025 in the same category Haru and Shim Hyungtak simultaneously entered the top 10, proving viewers' strong interest. (Good Data Corporation 기준) It also received the presidential citation in commemoration of the 14th "Population Day," showing the dignity of a "national childcare entertainment" program.
Today (the 25th) the 614th episode of 'The Return of SUPERMAN,' titled "I came to experience being a dad!," features MC Kim Jongmin and Lallali. In particular, Haru, 14 months old, is reported to succeed in his first outdoor steps after intensive walking training, raising expectations.
Pushing the walker is like eating cold baby food for Haru. During dad Shim Hyungtak's walking training, Haru advances with a relaxed appearance. Even after his feet tangled and he fell on his butt, he smiled broadly, got up again, and continued walking practice babbling "appa bbba eomma eomma," evoking a beaming smile. Especially when Haru took a step in time holding his father's hand, Shim Hyungtak covered his mouth and was moved, saying "our Haru is walking."
Shim Hyungtak equips a secret weapon to ensure Haru's first-step success. He put rice cake crisps inside a butterfly net and tempted Haru. Haru sprang up, took steps forward to grab the "tteok ppeng," and by his own strength succeeded in his first-ever steps, widening his eyes in amazement.
