Actor Shim Hyung-tak appears and reveals the story of how his son 'Haru' became a top star recognized even in Japan just a day after his broadcast appearance.
The MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star', airing at 10:30 PM on the 10th, features a special segment titled 'Rich Dad in Heart, Poor Dad in Body' with Kim Soo-yong, Lim Hyung-jun, Shim Hyung-tak, and Kim In-man.
Shim Hyung-tak recently joined 'The Return of Superman' and shares his current situation as he enjoys a 'second prime' with his son 'Haru'. He mentioned, "My wife was very worried about revealing our child," drawing attention. Unlike Japan, which is conservative about revealing celebrity families, he expressed concerns due to the many family entertainment shows in Korean broadcasting.
After much deliberation, Shim Hyung-tak and his wife decided to appear on the show, and at the time of the first broadcast, they were staying at his wife's family home in Japan. He revealed that after the broadcast, people in Japan were surprised to recognize their son 'Haru'. He also mentioned that even on the flight to Korea, there were many fans who recognized 'Haru' rather than him.
When the adorable appearance of 'Haru', with his abundant hair, was revealed, MC Kim Gu-ra couldn't take his eyes off him, saying, "He looks like Fobby from 'Future Boy Conan'." Shim Hyung-tak smiled proudly, saying, "He really smiles well," showcasing his 'dad smile'. Compliments poured in for 'Haru', who inherited his mother's beauty.
Additionally, Shim Hyung-tak, who has been an actor for 25 years, humorously stated, "When I post my own photos on SNS, I don't get any 'likes'," but when he posts pictures of 'Haru', the number of 'likes' skyrockets, causing laughter. Lim Hyung-jun also empathized, confessing, "I once posted my photo and took it down because there was no reaction," which elicited a burst of laughter.
The parenting episodes of Shim Hyung-tak and his wife Saya, who are loved in both Korea and Japan, can be seen on 'Radio Star', airing at 10:30 PM on the 10th.
