On KBS2's 'The Return of Superman,' 35-month-old Jiwoo, daughter of Jang Dongmin, transforms with her first-ever perm hairstyle.
Since its first broadcast in 2013, 'The Return of Superman' (hereafter 'Superman') has been loved by the public for 12 years, showcasing how parents unfamiliar with raising children find happiness through their kids while illuminating the valuable meanings of parenting and presenting various family forms.
In particular, the June 2nd week (2025.06.09~2025.06.15) TV-OTT non-drama sector's star attractions from Good Data Corporation showed that Jungwoo placed 6th in the rankings released on the 17th. The 25-month-old Jungwoo stands shoulder to shoulder with popular stars like BTS's J-Hope and actor Park Jung Min. Eunwoo also proved to be a hot topic, rising to 3rd place in the 48th week of 2023's 'Variety Appearance Popularity Rankings' released by Good Data Corporation, showcasing the strong brotherly power of 'Woo Brothers'.
The 578th episode airing today (18th) of 'Superman' features 'Superman Dad's Challenge!' with 3MCs Park Soo Hong, Choi Ji Woo, and Ahn Young Mi, alongside Superman Jang Dongmin. Notably, Jang Dongmin reportedly received special tutoring for his daughter Jiwoo's first perm, drawing attention.
Jang Dongmin launches a terraced farm hair salon in Wonju, Gangwon Province, for his daughter Jiwoo. For Jiwoo's first perm hairstyle, Jang Dongmin confesses, "I put everything of my life into this," and mentions he even trained at the hair salon for the perm. However, he reveals his nerves, saying, "Jiwoo is my first client."
As he starts curling Jiwoo's hair, Jang Dongmin becomes flustered, saying, "It looks so different from a wig." But he soon focuses intensely, curling her hair as he learned. The first curl completed by a tense Jang Dongmin elicits admiration in the studio. Park Soo Hong exclaims, "Oh! It’s dried very well," revealing his fascination with the skills of the 'golden-handed' dad Jang Dongmin.
During the perm process, Jiwoo actively markets her dad's farm hair salon. When a neighborhood resident approaches after seeing the farm salon, Jiwoo begins promoting, saying, "Grandma, they do hair well here." Jang Dongmin also smiles and says, "Are you getting your hair done? If you write your name on the reservation list, I’ll contact you," focusing on attracting customers to the farm hair salon. Attention is drawn to whether he is expanding his eco-friendly business into the hair salon industry.
Meanwhile, Jiwoo, sporting a dad-styled perm, draws attention. After a long wait, Jiwoo is very satisfied with her new hairstyle, saying, "I love it, it’s so bouncy," while Jang Dongmin reportedly shows pride in his daughter's transformation. Jang Dongmin's hairdressing skills and Jiwoo's transformation will be revealed in today's episode of 'Superman.'
