The 568th episode of KBS2 2TV 'Superman Returns' (Directed by Kim Young-min) featured three MCs, Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi, along with Kim Jun-ho and Hwang Min-ho. Kim Jun-ho spent time with his second son Jung-woo and felt Jung-woo's explosive growth, while the Hwang Min-ho and Hwang Min-woo brothers prepared a special birthday party for their father, bringing warmth to the occasion.

Especially, Jung-woo drew attention with his explosively increased vocabulary and expressiveness. At a meat restaurant, Jung-woo perfectly constructed a sentence while looking adorably up at the owner after saying, “Sir! Please hurry,” and then finished his order with a charming expression and an adorable tone by saying, “Please give me meat quickly,” which caused hearts to flutter. He also expressed a darkened situation as, “It’s a cave, it’s so dark,” and followed with, “It’s cold, it's cold,” and “Burnt food is bad,” showcasing his advanced language skills and leaving others in admiration. Choi Ji-woo noted, “Jung-woo has become so chatty and cute,” while his father Kim Jun-ho was amazed, saying, “Our Jung-woo's speech has improved so much.”

Jung-woo, who exploded with cuteness while repeatedly saying, “I want to eat more, I want to eat more,” through his robust two-handed rib-eating performance, expressed his desire to keep eating by saying, “No,” in response to his father's question, “Shall we go now?” He then coolly sent his father off first while saying, “See you later,” causing laughter. When Kim Jun-ho said, “Eat as much as you want, I’ll wait for you,” Jung-woo made his father feel better by saying, “Dad is the best!” bringing smiles to everyone.

Not only did Jung-woo's language abilities shine, but his physical skills inherited from his national team DNA and his growing affection also captured the hearts of online aunts and uncles. Jung-woo, who ventured to break records at the sports center, grabbed a gold medal by finishing first in a challenging 5-tier obstacle course run. His caring attitude towards his competitor, saying things like “It’s okay” and “Thank you,” along with his unyielding spirit towards fencing, made him smile as he posed with a fork like a fencing sword.

On that day, Hwang Min-ho prepared a birthday party for their father with his brother Hwang Min-woo. The fresh seafood brought by Hwang Min-ho and Hwang Min-woo, along with side dishes made by their aunt from Gwangju, including braised ribs, japchae, and Vietnamese stir-fry, created a personalized birthday meal that caught attention. Hwang Min-ho and Hwang Min-woo flexed their filial piety with a 1 million won birthday cake and even performed a joyous joint concert with their father, who dreamed of being a singer, making everyone dance in joy.

Initially, their father Hwang Min-ho, who said he wouldn’t have a birthday party, expressed his true feelings by saying, “I’m happy to celebrate my birthday.” The late-born father, Hwang Min-ho, lamented, “There’s no merchant against age,” as he watched his late-born son grow while facing the undeniable reality of aging, causing his eyes to glisten with tears. Park Soo-hong and Choi Ji-woo, who are late-born parents, empathetically expressed, “It doesn’t feel like someone else’s issue,” revealing their own stirred emotions. Hwang Min-ho expressed his heartfelt wish, saying, “I hope Dad stays healthy and with us always,” which brought a tearful moment.
