KBS2 'The Return of SUPERMAN' day bursts into delight toward a duck with eye-smiles and babbling, creating cuteness.
'The Return of SUPERMAN' (directed by Kim Youngmin, hereafter 'The Return of SUPERMAN') has been loved by the public for 13 years since its first broadcast in 2013. Following Eun-woo in 2023, in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of June 2025, Jung-woo 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 standard) It also received the presidential commendation at the 14th 'Population Day' ceremony, demonstrating the dignity of a 'national childcare variety show'.
Today's (the 8th) broadcast of 'The Return of SUPERMAN' episode 616 is titled 'Haru grows another finger's breadth' with MC Kim Jongmin and Lalali, and Haru visits an indoor zoo for the first time in his life. Haru attracts attention by transforming into 'Haru duck' wearing yellow clothes with a yellow duck pin. Haru also surprises everyone by transforming into a fennec fox and a rabbit, perfectly pulling off various animal outfits and showing off his 'master of transformation' side.
When Haru sees the duck, he shouts "Woaang~". Seeming to meet his favorite, Haru stamps his feet and points at the duck with adorable fingers, and he feeds the duck directly, making his father Shim Hyungtak's eyes widen. He placed feed on his small hand, extended it to the duck, and succeeded in feeding it. After bravely succeeding in feeding the duck, when ducks swarmed from all directions, Haru smiled with crescent eyes and poured out babbling, creating cuteness. In particular, by saying "O! Ri!" with a clear pronunciation of 'ri,' he startled Shim Hyungtak. Lalali, seeing Haru as if on the verge of speaking, tearfully shouts, "Haru, call me auntie, auntie!", drawing laughter.
Meanwhile, Haru's bravery explodes on the shaky bridge. With a forceful kiai of "Dya!" he strides forward across the bridge. Spotting animals visible under the bridge, Haru expresses delight with babbling shouts like "Eotz! Uha~". In this way, starting with the duck, Haru fearlessly approaches animals he meets for the first time such as finch and wallaby, showing his affinity and rising as the zoo's social butterfly.
The sight of Haru, who sends an eye-smile to animals he sees for the first time at the zoo he visited for the first time in his life and approaches them without hesitation to become friends, can be seen on the 'The Return of SUPERMAN' broadcast.
KBS 2TV 'The Return of SUPERMAN' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.<
