Viewers focus on Haru's claw gesture in latest 'The Return of Superman' clip

A KBS clip from The Return of Superman (슈퍼맨이 돌아왔다) showing Shim Hyung-tak's son Haru eating lobster drew attention in the comments, where the most-liked reactions focused on a hand gesture the child made during the meal. "Our baby's finger-claw expression is no joke" (울 베이뷔 손가락 집게 표현 장난없심), one viewer commented. Another wrote that "Haru, who expresses even the claw legs accurately, has the best observational skills too." A third said, "I really wondered how he knew to express the claw with his fingers — it was fascinating," adding a wish that Haru "just eat lots of delicious food, have lots of enjoyable experiences, and be happy."

The gesture became the clip's main talking point across languages. One English-language commenter wrote that "Haru's self expression is genuinely genius immediately copying the claw because he can't name the subject," and another in Indonesian called his observation skills gifted. Several commenters described the moment as accurate rather than merely cute, with one writing, "My goodness, he expresses the claw finger exactly — amazing!!" Others tied the gesture to his appetite, calling him a big eater and noting he "danced with his shoulders because it tasted good" and looked happy while eating meat.

Alongside the praise, a recurring thread in the comments was a request for more of Haru. "Today's portion is too short, please upload more," one viewer wrote, and several others asked the channel to increase his screen time. Commenters also tracked his eating streak, with one noting he had gone from Korean beef and eel to lobster: "He goes around eating all the good stuff." Multiple comments referred to him with nicknames including "big eater Shim Haru" and "little prince Shim Haru," and repeated a common refrain that he should eat well and stay healthy.
