Park Tae-hwan from 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' candidly shared his thoughts on pensions.
During the broadcast of KBS2's entertainment show 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' on 13th, the legendary Park Tae-hwan, who made history in South Korean swimming, revealed the truth about pensions.
On that day, Park Tae-hwan expressed his thoughts on pensions openly. To the production team asking, "You receive a lot from pensions, right?" he replied, "It is impossible to live off pensions for life."
In particular, Park Tae-hwan noted, "For example, if you consider a silver medal worth 10 points and a gold medal worth 30 points, you have to accumulate them all. You need to gather 100 points for your pension to be registered," and added, "The 2006 Doha Asian Games were my first competition in high school, and that's where I accumulated all 100 points," drawing admiration.
"I won three bronze medals, one silver medal, and three gold medals, so the amount is now a bit salty like bread rolls," he joked, comparing it to bread, eliciting laughter.
Park Tae-hwan explained, "Once you fill up 100 points, you receive a pension for life. Since I already have the points, any additional scores I earn in international competitions will be given as a lump sum in cash from that point on."
In fact, he also mentioned that he receives rewards every time he wins a medal. Regarding that, Park Tae-hwan disclosed, "But I have actually donated all of my rewards."
