The episode aired on the 21st, titled 'Why Did You Come to Our House?', featured MCs Kim Jong-min and Lalal.

The nationwide viewership rating of 3.7% marked an increase from the previous episode's 3.4%, according to Nielsen Korea.
In this episode, Ho-woo's father Kim Jun-ho, along with Eun-woo and Jung-woo, welcomed Lalal and Seo-bin to their home, setting the stage for the adorable eating contest. Jung-woo, the original eating champion, confidently twirled spaghetti with a fork, while newcomer Seo-bin grabbed noodles with her hands, eagerly devouring them.
Jung-woo showcased his brotherly charm, encouraging Seo-bin to eat more and even offering his title as the eating champion. He played with Seo-bin, sharing his favorite toys and books, and enthusiastically named animals in the illustrations, despite not being able to read.
Kim Jun-ho was filled with mixed emotions watching his sons grow. The family celebrated the New Year with a hike, where Jung-woo, who once needed help climbing stairs, now managed the trail independently. Eun-woo impressed by hanging from an adult pull-up bar for 14 seconds, showcasing his inherited athletic prowess.
Jung-woo demonstrated problem-solving skills by using a back scratcher to retrieve puffed rice from a bottle. The brothers' bond strengthened as Eun-woo helped Jung-woo, who struggled to get the rice, by tipping the bottle, delighting viewers.
Meanwhile, the new family on 'The Return of Superman,' Son Min-soo and Im Ra-ra, continued to draw attention with their twins, Kang-dan siblings.

Father Son Min-soo proved to be a loving husband, caring for his wife Im Ra-ra, who suffered from wrist pain. He took on the responsibility of monitoring the twins' temperatures every two hours, ensuring their well-being. Son Min-soo expressed his love by saying, "I never woke Ra-ra, even when exhausted," earning admiration from many mothers.
