The legend of Korean baseball, 'Son of the Wind' Lee Jong-beom showcases his unexpected charm as a grandfather. The 607th episode of KBS2 'Superman Returns', airing at 8:30 PM on the 4th, is themed 'Legendary Grandfather's Parenting Diary', revealing the daily life of Lee Jong-beom with his 25-month-old grandson Ko Tae-hyun.
In this episode, Lee Jong-beom appears with the new title of 'Super Grandpa'.

Ko Tae-hyun boasted extraordinary physical conditions that are hard to believe for a 25-month-old. He effortlessly performed stepper exercises and surprised the production team by skillfully driving a toy car with his grandfather on board. Observing this, Lee Jong-beom remarked, "My grandson's physical ability is in the top 0.01%" and revealed, "He has a physique with significantly more muscle mass than body fat," showcasing his 'grandson fool' side.
After confirming his grandson's exceptional talent, Lee Jong-beom immediately began special batting instruction. The baseball instincts and learning ability that Ko Tae-hyun will display under the coaching of the legendary hitter are expected to be the highlight of this broadcast.
