The 498th episode of KBS2's 'The Return of Superman' (hereinafter referred to as 'Superman'), which aired on the 18th, opened with the narration of So Yoo-jin and Max Chang-min with the episode 'Our meeting is inevitable'. Among them, actor Lee Pil-mo and his sons, 5-year-old Dam-ho and 13-month-old Do-ho, newly joined the group, and Jun-beom met comedians Kim Min-kyung and Oh Na-mi and exploded with loveliness. In particular, the lovely daily life of Lee Pil-mo and brothers Dam-ho and Do-ho recorded the highest viewership rating of 3.9%.
Actor Lee Pil-mo, who appeared for the first time with his two sons on this day, said from the beginning of the day without his wife, “For me, parenting is everyday life. Do it like breathing. “Why not?” he said, showing off his majestic confidence and drawing attention. As proof of this, Lee Pil-mo prepared a meal for his two sons and wife Seo Soo-yeon even though he returned home at 4 a.m. due to filming a movie. Pil-mo Lee claimed to be the actual housewife in the house, saying, “I’m in charge of the kitchen,” and created bone-bone egg soup and fried rice with his skillful knife skills, drawing admiration. During this process, more eggs than beef bones made people laugh. Pil-mo Lee said, “I grew tall because I ate a lot of eggs when I was young,” and foreshadowed a firm diet management by praising eggs. In addition, Pil-mo Lee is a firm believer that eating eggs, bean sprouts, and mackerel is healthy, and he made dishes using them for three meals a day, making people laugh. added.
Lee Pil-mo showed off his own firm parenting philosophy and aimed to become the 'God of Parenting.' Pil-mo Lee showed himself as a tiger-like father by strictly restraining Dam-ho, who wanted to eat jelly before a meal. However, soon after, Pil-mo Lee became preoccupied with observing butterflies on Dam-ho's way to school, and showed the unexpected charm of a soft tofu-like father who wanted to protect Dam-ho's innocence by giving Dam-ho enough time to observe butterflies at the risk of being late for kindergarten. Accordingly, Dam-ho ran a race with his father Pil-mo Lee as a curious prankster and ran around the park innocently, giving an automatic smile.
Afterwards, Pilmo Lee spent time with his second son, Doho. Doho, who was just 13 months old and barely older than his first birthday, stood up on his own by holding a toy without the help of his father, Pil-mo Lee, and immediately surprised Pil-mo Lee by taking his first steps as many as 30 steps. After returning from kindergarten, Dam-ho went shopping with Pil-mo Lee, and with a clear intention, he brought the mackerel he wanted and impressed people with his delicate observation skills. Furthermore, Damho showed the courage to keep his promise to ‘not watch videos.’
The next dinner was mackerel, a side dish that Dad and Damho like. However, Dam-ho's face, which was happily inhaling fish, turned red for an instant, which embarrassed Lee Pil-mo. A thorn stuck in the neck. As the situation unfolded in an instant, Lee Pil-mo made Dam-ho swallow a spoonful of rice. Pil-mo Lee broke into a cold sweat when Dam-ho said he couldn't swallow, but Dam-ho soon got over the thorn safely with a spoonful of rice and a sip of water, putting his father at ease. However, Dam-ho, who realized that as much as he loves mackerel, there are also thorns in it, he cried and said, “Dad, I don’t eat mackerel anymore,” making Pil-mo Lee unable to laugh or cry. Lee Pil-mo, who thus enjoyed his first day without his wife, said, “My body is tired, but my heart is good,” and he felt the true taste of parenting, where he was able to smile thanks to his two sons even in a tough daily life, filling the home theater with warmth.
Meanwhile, Jun-beom met comedians Kim Min-kyung and Oh Na-mi. Kim Min-kyung expressed her confidence in capturing Jun-beom's heart, saying, "Oh Na-mi and Ha-gwan resemble Hong Hyun-hee, so Jun-beom will think she is his mother." At the same time, “Our energy is really good. He said, “I’m an athlete,” and boasted of the physical strength he honed through soccer, but he soon burst into laughter as he seemed tired from the first half of the game due to the spicy taste of real-life parenting. Among them, Oh Na-mi was immersed in Jun-beom's lovely smile that made her forget all the hardships, and even revealed her childbirth plan in a surprise, saying, "I want to have a baby when Jun-beom sees me."
Meanwhile, Jun-beom caused an earthquake in his pupils when he watched Min-kyung Kim's mukbang, where he is known as 'Muk-jjang' and always surpasses him when it comes to eating. When Jun-beom saw Kim Min-kyung watching a mukbang, he stared at her with a strawberry in his mouth, making everyone laugh. Jun-beom played endless peek-a-boo with Oh Nami, and enjoyed the love of his aunts by tasting Kim Min-kyung-pyo's great egg rolls.
