Uwa Huang Min-ho spent a day with his peers for the first time, and Ji-woo and Ro-ji spent a special day getting to know one another and becoming close friends.
The 575th episode of KBS2 'The Return of Superman' was titled 'Run, Laugh, Enjoy,' and featured stories from the Huang Min-ho and Huang Min-woo brothers, the Jang Dong-min and Ji-woo father-daughter duo, and the Oh Jong-hyuk and Ro-ji father-daughter duo, along with 3MCs Park Soo-hong, Choi Ji-woo, and Ahn Young-mi. Among them, Huang Min-ho, who had no opportunity to socialize with friends due to a busy schedule, savored the life of a typical elementary school student for the first time while spending time with friends. Ji-woo and Ro-ji became inseparable friends, planting crops in the garden together and playing with nail art.
Before the sports competition, Huang Min-ho said, "I was looking forward to that day the most," unable to hide his excitement. As soon as he entered the playground, he continuously exclaimed, "Uwa, this is going to be fun!" He especially expressed joy while cheering enthusiastically with friends and strategizing together, embodying the essence of a carefree elementary school student that stood in stark contrast to his stage persona. Park Soo-hong commented on Huang Min-ho’s bright smile while running around with his friends, saying, "He’s not being grown-up on stage; he’s a playful kid with his friends," wearing a satisfied smile.
Huang Min-ho invited 11 friends to his home for his very first home party. Huang Min-ho's mother remarked, "Min-ho has never brought a friend home before," as she watched her son happily mingle with friends without being able to take her eyes off him for a long time. The worry she had about his social relationships faded away completely as she saw him comfortably interacting with his friends, and she smiled with immense happiness. During this time, one friend revealed to Huang Min-ho that he had a girlfriend, which turned out to be a 'fan,' providing a comedic twist.
Following this, when Min-ho said, "Can I show you around the house?" the friends headed to the room full of stage costumes and cheered with sparkling eyes at the extravagant outfits. In the following 'home karaoke,' Huang Min-ho burst into song with his friends, overflowing with excitement, and expressed his heartfelt feelings about the special moment by saying, "That was so much fun." Choi Ji-woo, who observed this, noted, "At thirteen, it’s the age when you want to play the most," and deeply resonated with Huang Min-ho's innocent demeanor.
Ji-woo and Ro-ji, both 35 months old, showed a natural progression into friendship as they planted seedlings together for spring. Ro-ji greeted Ji-woo by sharing her favorite possessions, while Ji-woo, with her half a lifetime of farming experience, looked after the 'newbie' Ro-ji in their own ways. 'Ro-jiu' delighted viewers as they ran around the vegetable garden with watering cans and rolled in the dirt, thoroughly enjoying their day.
Meanwhile, 'Ro-jiu' opened their own nail art shop, showcasing their sweet chemistry. Ro-ji brought her favorite cosmetics, suggested to Ji-woo, "Let’s do it together," and before Ji-woo could hesitate, Ro-ji had already taken Ji-woo's hand to start the nail art. Ji-woo expressed her gratitude to Ro-ji for the adorably messy yellow nails, melting the hearts of viewers with pure cuteness. Even Ji-woo’s father, Jang Dong-min, noted with a smile, "They are so different in personality, yet they became best friends."
KBS2 'The Return of Superman' airs every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m.
