Comedian Choi Yang-rak and Paeng Hyun-sook have embarked on a parenting challenge for the "Gangdan Siblings." In this episode revealed through KBS 'The Return of Superman,' the meaning behind the children's names and the heartfelt food prepared by senior comedian Choi Hyun-joon added a warm scene to the parenting site.

The appearance of the Gangdan Siblings, meaning "Live strongly"

The couple revealed that they named them the "Gangdan Siblings" with the hope that the children would grow up strong. They named the first child Gang to reflect the wish for him to live strongly, and added the wish for them to grow up gracefully and beautifully to name them the "Gangdan Siblings." On this day, Choi Hyun-joon, a senior of Choi Yang-rak, visited the site to act as a reliable supporter helping with childcare.

Choi Hyun-joon showed his sincerity by announcing that he had personally completed preparations for three nights and four days for the visit. He brought a large amount of handmade young summer radish kimchi, white kimchi, and side dishes that could be eaten for about a month, delivering them to the couple currently raising the children. The food carefully prepared by Choi Hyun-joon became a great source of strength in the busy parenting scene. Choi Yang-rak expressed gratitude for his senior's sincerity and showed how he relies on his broadcast senior like a biological mother and father.

The reality and hardships of parenting two children

The process of looking after the Gangdan Siblings was much busier than expected. In a situation where they had to care for two children at the same time, their hands had no time to rest. In particular, as the children began to crawl, the guardian's attention was focused whenever they headed toward dangerous places like the kitchen. The realistic hardships of parenting were revealed in the process of restraining the children whenever they moved toward dangerous areas. Since there are two children, situations occurred where one child headed to a dangerous place while the guardian was focused on the other, capturing moments where the guardian appeared flustered and expressed apology.

Baby food time was also not an easy process. During the process of the children eating, unexpected situations occurred where food went into their noses, and after meals, meticulous cleanup followed, such as wiping the children's hands and feet and brushing their teeth. In particular, for the children whose teeth were starting to come in, brushing time using finger toothbrushes continued, and it was captured that the children enjoyed the brushing process and kept requesting the finger toothbrushes, perhaps due to the sweet taste.

The senior's support and the children's pure reactions

Choi Yang-rak expressed gratitude for the support of senior Choi Hyun-joon and showed how he relies on his senior like a biological mother. While Choi Hyun-joon sent affectionate glances toward the children, he also encouraged those working hard at parenting. The children also spent peaceful time eating rice crackers as a snack. On the scene, the wish was shared that the children grow up to be well-mannered children who resemble their parents.

During the parenting process, moments where the guardians appeared flustered when the children burst into tears or performed unexpected actions were also captured. Even amidst the confusion arising from caring for two children simultaneously, the children showed pure reactions and maintained the atmosphere of the scene. In particular, the growth process of the children was captured, such as when one of the children was caught calling him "Appa" (Dad).
