In 2014,he and his son Kim Ji-hoo appeared on The Return of Superman ,a reality show that follows celebrity fathers who take over caring for their children for a few days while their wives are away. They were originally guest stars in his friend Jang Hyun-sung's segment on episodes 20 and 21,but netizens liked Ji-hoo for his bright and happy personality and asked to see more of him.

Kim was later heavily criticized for bringing Ji-hoo while publicly campaigning for Na Dong-yeon of the Saenuri Party,who ran for Yangsan city mayor in South Gyeongsang Province in the June 4,2014 local elections. His wife,Jeon Yeo-jin responded that the family was just on a "picnic," and that she and her son had just stopped by to say hello to Na,who is an old friend of her husband. Yet due to mounting criticism that a child had seemingly been exploited for political means,Kim's agency announced a week after the incident that Kim and his son had chosen to leave the program The Return of Superman.
