Remember South Korea darlings — Daehan, Minguk and Manse — who captured hearts (and screens) worldwide with their adorable antics back in 2014 on hit reality programme The Return of Superman?
Not even they are spared from racists attacks, according to a recent interview that media outlet Newsen conducted with their father, popular actor Song Il Kook.
According to reports, the Song family were based in France for the past year, as Song’s wife, who works as a judge, was posted there for a study trip. They have since returned home.
During the interview, Song shared about their time abroad — which had not been a bed of roses due to the family facing instances of racial discrimination. 
Back in the Day: Song and His Tiny Titans
Remember the good old days when the triplets were still baby munchkins? Song recently took us down memory lane, sharing the wild moments that shaped their early years.
The Playground Drama
Picture this: a sunny park, giggling kids, and then—sudden chaos. One irresponsible adult decides to turn a harmless water bottle into a urine‑filled fiasco aimed straight at the triplets. “We met nasty people—those who cursed at us solely for being Asian, and those who hurled a bottle of urine at our little ones while they were playing,” Song confided with a mix of shock and anger.
- Kids were left trembling with the sudden splash.
- Song’s heart broke, and he couldn’t hold back the fury.
- His words turned into a storm of determined profanity—a raw, protective outburst for his kids.
Living Abroad: A Battle and a Blessing
Despite the harrowing incidents, Song isn’t bitter about their time overseas. He swears he learned something huge: the very fact that no one truly knew them made the triplets resilient. “It was a lesson in adaptability—my kids had to learn how to thrive in a world where they were invisible,” he told an eager audience.
Mini‑biz Gurus in Their Third Year
Did you know the toddlers were cashing in on an impressive $4.26 million of endorsement deals by age three? Yep—while they still need to learn the alphabet, the triplets were already juggling contracts. Imagine their tiny hands negotiating deals like seasoned business pros.
New Milestones: First Year of Elementary
The triplets have officially entered the world of education. “They’re adjusting well,” Song explained, smiling at the classroom chaos. Each kid is in a separate homeroom—effectively triple the schoolwork, triple the adventures. The big question, however, is how best to cater to their wildly different energy levels and quirks.
- Babyshedding an extra “natal” diaper for each of their distinct personalities.
- Brain‑dumping tiny insights into how to manage their energies—everyone’s a unique cocktail.
- And a heartfelt view that each child deserves a tiny space to shine.
