Singapore has been Koreanized as the Hallyu wave swept through across Asia. Most of us have been watching their daily dose of Korean drama ever since the Endless Love drama series tugged at our hearts years ago. Now, even Korean variety shows are keeping Singaporeans entertained and providing laughter to their homes.

One of such popular shows is KBS’ The Return of Superman, a reality show where celebrity dads are left alone with their kids for an entire 48 hours while the moms go on a day off. In 2015, the show introduced us to Song Il Gook’s (remember the Korean drama Jumong?) fraternal triplets named Daehan, Minguk and Manse. The triplets have captivated the hearts of viewers since their first appearance on Episode 34 of the show.

If you’re not in love with these kids yet, I’ll give you 5 reasons why you should:

1. They make eating look so much fun. These kids are no picky eaters. It’s fun to watch them eat their veggies and leave nothing on their plates. They adorably call out for their food to be served and look so happy once they see their food coming. Watching them eat always makes me hungry.

2. They are adorable singers. They’ve been singing children songs since the start of the episode. They sing while they eat, when they’re happy, when they play, when they’re riding in their dad’s car – they sing a lot. They also can’t help moving their bodies to the beat as they sing.

They were even able to perform in front of a crowd. They also had an opportunity to record their favorite song “Tyrannosaurus” at the YG studio! It’s easy to imagine these kids becoming handsome K-Pop idols when they grow up.

3. The brothers look out for each other. They brothers are really close. Daehan, the eldest or the hyung, is the responsible one who looks after his dongsaengs or younger brothers. He often shares his food to them and feeds them. Minguk, the middle one, always worries about his brothers when he notices that one of them is missing.

Manse, the youngest, often holds his brothers’ hands. There were scenes when the brothers comforted each other when someone was scared or crying. They also learned to work together in achieving their goals whenever their dad sends them on an errand.

4. They love their dad. Song Il Gook is really lucky to have these kids. He gets to play with them, kiss them, and hug them. He takes the boys with him on his marathon races. It’s heartwarming whenever the triplets sing encouragement and support for their dad.

5. They are such well-behaved kids. It’s amazing to watch how their parents raised Daehan, Minguk, and Manse really well. There never was any instance on the show when the kids misbehaved, acted rudely, or seemed spoiled. They listened to their dad and were always polite to the adults even to the cameramen. They didn’t hesitate to give a hug or a kiss to the elders and they acted as gentlemen to other kids.
