'Superman Is Back' criticized for its editing and captions that portrayed Dae Han in a negative light during his fight with Man Se

Lee Hwi Jae, Song Il Kook
Viewers of KBS 2TV's 'Superman is Back' are voicing their opinions to producers once more, this time asking that the staff pay closer attention to their editing and captions that could potentially mislead viewers. The complaints especially stemmed from the fight scene between two of Song Il Kook's triplets, Dae Han and Man Se, aired on a previous episode.

On the November 23rd broadcast, Lee Hwi Jae and his twins Suh Un and Suh Joon visited Song Il Kook and his triplets Dae Han, Min Guk, and Man Se. Lee Hwi Jae had brought gifts with him and gave each triplet a different version of the toy of their favorite character 'Robocar Poli'. Later, the show seemed to indicate that Dae Han was not happy with his blue toy and had tried to take Man Se's red toy instead, resulting in a fight between the two and led to Song Il Kook scolding them. 


When Song Il Kook was disciplining Dae Han and Man Se, Dae Han especially seemed to be resistant to kiss and hug to make up. This seemed a bit odd as Dae Han has been always portrayed as the more considerate triplet among the three who looks out for his brothers. Song Il Kook then told Man Se to play with the red toy first and then Dae Han later, so that each child would have time to play with it, and told Dae Han that he needed to be more understanding as the oldest. However, Dae Han sulked in sadness by going into their playroom by himself and putting himself to sleep with the covers pulled up over his head. 


It seems there was a reason behind Dae Han acting a bit out of character as netizens discovered after watching the scene more closely, that Dae Han was the original owner of the red toy! It seems he and Man Se had tried switching toys sometime later and when Dae Han was simply asking for it back saying, "Give It Back", the show had written for its captions, "Dae Han who is suddenly showing interest in Man Se's toy... Dae Han who took Man Se's toy." 


Viewers also pointed out Lee Hwi Jae also knew about the situation as he was heard saying to Man Se, "Where is Man Se's? Where is Man Se's? Man Se's is here," as he searched for the blue toy.


Realizing that the editing had been done in a bad way that made out Dae Han to be the troublemaker that started the fight, viewers voiced out that the show needs to be more careful during the editing process and about how they write their captions.


Top comments on this topic read, "The 'Superman' kids are cute and lovable so I watch them all the time.. But the editing is somewhat of a mess and the captions are especially weird. The captions shown for the kids don't fit well"; "They made Dae Han look like a bad kid. I also thought that it was weird that Dae Han was acting differently from the way he normally is.. Song Il Kook must have not known so that's why he punished them like that. He must have also been sad upon seeing the broadcast later ?? I don't know about anything else, but I'm uncomfortable with the portrayal of an innocent kid in a bad light. I ask for careful editing"; and "Upon watching Dae Han cry, I thought he must have felt that it was really unfair.. Dae Han was quietly playing with his toy when Man Se took it and Dae Han only tried to reclaim what was his afterwards, but they were both punished. Dae Han ah~ The hyungs and noonas who watched you on TV know the truth so don't be too upset~<3."


The scene starts at the 25:00 mark below.
