Opening up their photo album from the past year, they showed Haru′s grandfather what they′ve been doing as Tablo′s eyes silently filled with tears. 
When Haru noticed, she asked why he was crying and why he was sad. Tablo replied that he missed his daddy, and Haru gave him a hug, saying, "Should I make a grandfather? At home? Then you can hug it when you sleep."


During his final interview, Tablo stated, "I think my heart has grown so big being with Haru that I think I can fill all the negative things as happiness in my heart. As I played with Haru, I kept thinking of Haru as not my daugther, but as a cute little friend who comes to help me feel happiness." 
He added, "Every moment was beautiful, but I remember something that Haru told me the most. When I asked her what love was, she answered, ′Love is when Daddy makes Haru smile.′
Tablo said he cried because he was so happy. 
Haru ended her appearance on Return of Superman with, "Bye. See you again."

Tablo Reveals the Secret to His Happy Marriage With Kang Hye Jung

Soompi

On July 31, Tablo discussed his marriage life with actress Kang Hye Jung on MBC FM4U’s “Tablo’s Dreaming Radio.”

A listener sent a message saying, “[Kang] Hye Jung said this on a broadcast. There are a lot of enemies and people you fight with in the world, but don’t force your spirit onto the person you love. Is this your secret to living happily together?”

Tablo answers, “I think so. It’s true. We don’t show pride to each other at all. That’s why Hye Jung gets surprised sometimes. After being together for a long time and going outside, I becomes someone’s older brother and someone’s senior. When she sees me in situations where I receive respect, she needs a little bit of time to adjust. It’s because I don’t show pride at home and neither does Hye Jung.”

He continues, “On the other hand, when I go to Hye Jung’s work place like a movie set, I wonder if she is the same person I live with. And the person who makes us automatically turn off our pride is our daughter Haru. I hadn’t thought of it before, but I think it could be true.”

Meanwhile, “Tablo’s Dreaming Radio” airs every weekday at 10 p.m. KST.
