  • Kwak Tube expressed a desire for his son to pursue soccer if he inherits athletic genes from his mother.

Travel creator Kwak Tube, whose real name is Kwak Joon-young, made a special appearance on the KBS2TV show "The Return of Superman" as a father to his son, Taesan. The new dad, who welcomed his child in March, shared his delightful experience with early parenthood, noting that his baby is remarkably easy to care for. "The baby is such a filial child. Last night, he slept from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.," Kwak Tube revealed on the show, surprising fellow cast member Lalal. He described his son, who is not yet 100 days old, as a "unicorn baby" for his ability to sleep for 12 consecutive hours without waking and without much crying. Kwak Tube admitted he didn't realize how special this was until others used the term "unicorn" to describe his son's sleeping habits. He also officially revealed his son's name, Taesan, explaining that he wanted a name that sounded strong and independent. The name's pronunciation, "Osam-i," was previously used as his son's nickname. Adding a touch of humor, Kwak Tube mentioned that if his son develops athletic abilities, he would fully support him pursuing a career in soccer, hoping he inherits his mother's athletic genes. "The Return of Superman" is a reality program that follows celebrity fathers as they navigate the challenges of childcare, with new episodes airing Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m.
