KBS2's 'Superman Returns' kicked off 2025 energetically with the first appearance of the Eun-woo and Jung-woo brothers, who challenged their first climb of Mt. Eungbong, and the "bong-eo-bbang" rich man Kang Jae-jun with his 4-month-old son Hyun-jo.
KBS 2TV's 'Superman Returns' (directed by Kim Young-min) episode 555 was titled 'A Year of Happiness and Love in the Year of the Blue Snake,' featuring the three MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi, along with Superman Kang Jae-jun and Kim Jun-ho.
Among them, comedian Kang Jae-jun and his 4-month-old son Hyun-jo made their first appearance, bringing laughter with their strikingly similar looks, showcasing the power of strong genes. The three brothers, Kim Jun-ho, Eun-woo, and Jung-woo, successfully completed their first mountain climbing and dumpling-making challenges, showing remarkable growth right from the start of the new year.
On this day, comedian Kang Jae-jun and his 4-month-old son Hyun-jo made their first appearance. Kang Jae-jun expressed his affection for his precious son, whom he had after seven years of marriage, saying, "I will work hard on parenting for the rest of my life. I am currently on leave to focus entirely on parenting." He showcased his Superman-like qualities by quickly responding to Hyun-jo's cries, feeding him formula, and changing diapers, accurately understanding and addressing his son's needs.
In particular, Kang Jae-jun surprised everyone with his meticulousness, even keeping a feeding log. After putting Hyun-jo to sleep, he took care of household chores, from vacuuming to cleaning the bathroom. While doing the dishes, he managed to check on Hyun-jo in real-time, demonstrating his multitasking skills as a parenting expert, which drew admiration.
Next, Kang Jae-jun headed to take commemorative photos for Hyun-jo's 100th day. They showcased their matching outfits and chubby cheeks, boasting visuals that looked like a copy-and-paste job, with expressions ranging from frowns to cries that made them look remarkably alike.
Meanwhile, Kim Jun-ho challenged the Eun-woo and Jung-woo brothers to their first climb of Mt. Eungbong. Eun-woo was taken aback by the countless stairs at the entrance but soon encouraged Jung-woo, saying, "Jung-woo, you can do it. Try to follow your brother," as he confidently climbed the stairs, exuding a mature older brother vibe.
Even when Kim Jun-ho requested a break, Eun-woo resolutely replied, "We can't take a break," and stormed ahead toward the summit. The three brothers enjoyed a warm tea time at the top, bringing smiles. At that moment, Kim Jun-ho caught everyone's attention by giving Eun-woo a dinosaur egg as a New Year's gift. Excited about the dream of hatching a dinosaur egg, Eun-woo named it "Ankylosaurus," and upon returning home, he covered it with a blanket and gave it a kiss, showing his affection.
Following that, Kim Jun-ho, Eun-woo, and Jung-woo challenged themselves to make dumplings for the New Year. When the filling ingredients appeared, Jung-woo immediately shouted, "Rice!" kicking off the 'table language,' and after tasting the filling, he exclaimed, "It's tofu! Give me more," showcasing his growing language skills. Eun-woo took on the role of a sous chef, applying water to the dumpling wrappers and adding the filling with delicate hands.
At that moment, Eun-woo rushed over with excitement upon hearing that a dinosaur had hatched, but he ran away in fear at the unexpected terrifying appearance of the toy dinosaur, saying, "It's scary. Close the door," which made everyone burst into laughter. Even Jung-woo, who usually shows a bold personality, became a clingy child around the dinosaur. Later, the 'Woo brothers' tasted the dumplings they made, and Jung-woo clearly stated, "Cut it for me!" showcasing his language genius at 19 months. This made everyone look forward to the upgraded future of the 'Woo brothers,' with 5-year-old Eun-woo becoming braver and 3-year-old Jung-woo developing his language skills.
After the broadcast, various SNS and community platforms were filled with affectionate reactions such as, "Every time I see Kang Jae-jun and Hyun-jo, I laugh so much. How can they look so alike? Kang Jae-jun seems amazed too," "Seeing Hyun-jo on 'Superman Returns' is so heartwarming," "When I see Hyun-jo drinking formula, it feels like Kang Jae-jun is eating," "Last year, I laughed a lot watching lovely baby Eun-woo become a wonderful older brother, and I look forward to this year too," "Jung-woo is cute whether he’s just being held, standing, or drooling," "Jung-woo holding the cup with both hands is so adorable," "Jung-woo's speech is getting clearer. I'm so proud," and more.
