Park Tae-hwan reveals the truth about his pension on 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant.'
In the episode of 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' airing on the 13th, the legendary Park Tae-hwan, who has made history in Korean swimming, will share his honest story. After being selected as the youngest member of the Korean national swimming team at the age of 14, Park Tae-hwan swept medals in various world competitions, including the Olympics, World Championships, and Asian Games. It is drawing attention that Park Tae-hwan also candidly revealed details about his impressive pension.
In the VCR that will be released that day, Park Tae-hwan said, "I have a restaurant that I really want to visit." As he left his house, he entered another APT. in the apartment complex, which raised eyebrows. It turned out he was looking for the cafeteria within the APT. This APT. has garnered attention as it houses numerous celebrities and is known as the "first residential building in the country with a residents' restaurant."
Chef Lee Yeon-bok said, "You've had a hard time, but Park Tae-hwan has succeeded," which brought laughter. Following that, the production team of 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' cautiously asked Park Tae-hwan about his pension. This was understandable since Park Tae-hwan has countless medals from international competitions.
Park Tae-hwan stated, "It's impossible to live off a pension for life." He continued, "You need to accumulate 100 points to register for the pension by winning medals. I earned all 100 points at once during the Doha Asian Games in 2006 while in high school," and added, "The amount of that (pension) is quite salty, like salt bread." He also noted that he donated a lot of the prize money he received whenever he won a medal. The reality of the pension revealed by Park Tae-hwan can be confirmed in the main broadcast.
On that day, Park Tae-hwan will also share a warm phone conversation with his real sister, who has been misunderstood as his girlfriend during his athlete days. During this process, he revealed that his first nephew, whom he dotes on, is also learning to swim. However, it surprised everyone that Park Tae-hwan opposes his nephew's serious challenge to become a competitive swimmer. What could be the reason behind Park Tae-hwan's opposition to his beloved nephew's swimming ambitions?
The truth about the pension of the eternal Marine Boy Park Tae-hwan, Park Tae-hwan's love for his nephew, his epic eating broadcast, and his signature menu will all be revealed in 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant', airing on Friday, the 13th, at 8:30 p.m.
