    Choi Min Hwan shared a touching moment with his father, Choi Byeong Chan, on the latest episode of "The Return of Superman."

    On the 534th episode of the show, themed "Love, Happiness, Togetherness," MCs Choi Ji Woo, Ahn Young Mi, along with Superman dads Kim Jun Ho, Jayden, Moon Hee Jun, and Choi Min Hwan gathered.

    During this episode, Choi Min Hwan had a heartfelt conversation with his father, expressing his desire to emulate him as a father and revealing stories about their relationship that he had never discussed before.

    During a drink together, Choi Min Hwan broke the ice, saying, "After becoming a father myself, I've started to understand how you raised me."
