Actor Shim Hyung-tak's son, Haru, is showing talent in the arts and sports.

In the the 24th broadcast of 'The Return of Superman' (hereinafter 'Superman Returns'), 16-month-old Haru unexpectedly displays talent in Eastern painting, earning the title of 'Shim Hwa-baek'.

Haru skillfully moves the brush back and forth across the paper, continuing his bold strokes, and then adds the finishing touch to the painting with advanced (?) brushwork. As a masterpiece reminiscent of noble orchids is completed, Shim Hyung-tak exclaims, "I can sense integrity and uprightness," expressing his surprise, while Lalal also marvels, "His hand movements are so sophisticated until the very end," praising Haru's masterful brushwork.

Meanwhile, Haru also demonstrates exceptional athletic ability in ball games such as soccer, basketball, and baseball, following his calligraphy, revealing his qualities as a 'young prodigy in arts and sports'. In particular, during baseball practice, he challenges himself with a 'self-toss', throwing the ball himself and immediately swinging the bat, leaving everyone in awe. Haru not only shows remarkable reflexes by swinging the bat the moment he throws the ball but also performs a clapping celebration, emitting the DNA of a baseball player.

In response, Shim Hyung-tak finds himself in a happy dilemma, asking, "Should we make him a baseball player?" He even shares his wife's wish, saying, "My wife wants to raise Haru as a two-way player like Ohtani," raising expectations about whether Haru can grow into a future baseball star.

'Superman Returns' has been loved by the public for 13 years since its first broadcast in 2013. Following Eun-woo in 2023, Jung-woo ranked in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks in the second and third weeks of June 2025 in the TV-OTT non-drama category of the 'Most Talked About Performers' list, and in the same category during the second week of August 2025, both Haru and Shim Hyung-tak simultaneously entered the top 10, proving the audience's intense interest. (Based on Good Data Corporation) Additionally, the show received the 'Presidential Commendation' at the 14th 'Population Day' commemoration, demonstrating the dignity of a 'national parenting variety show'.
