This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
On "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant," Park Tae-hwan expressed remorse and gratitude to his mother, who sacrificed and battled cancer for him in the past.
On the March 3 broadcast of KBS2TV "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant," Park Tae-hwan appeared with his mother.
That day they decided to reveal the meal prepared by the mother who made the national swim team's gold medal possible. In the past, even after injuring her leg, his mother followed him to the competition in Australia and prepared meals. Park Tae-hwan named his mother's braised short ribs as his favorite food, and his mother showed a gold-medal level meal by buying 300,000 won worth of meat alone. Park Tae-hwan said, "It's cheaper to eat at restaurants, but when it comes to taste, mom's braised short ribs are gold-medal level."
In particular, his mother said, "When Tae-hwan was in fourth grade, I had early-stage breast cancer, and it happened to be the day of Tae-hwan's match," adding, "I said I would have surgery after it was over, so about two weeks later it progressed to stage 1 breast cancer." Cancer had spread faster in younger patients. His mother recalled, "While undergoing chemotherapy, I shaved my head, wore a wig and went to see Tae-hwan at the national sports festival," remembering the times she supported him even while fighting cancer. Everyone said, "He did not become a national team member for no reason."
Park Tae-hwan said, "At first my mother's health worsened. I didn't know she was fighting cancer; I realized because she kept lying down," and his mother said, "Thanks to Tae-hwan I had surgery and recovered quickly because watching Tae-hwan's matches was my greatest happiness," adding, "I never thought about breast cancer surgery," saying she had a strong will to endure to watch her son's matches, and Park Tae-hwan also said, "I worked even harder for my mother who was battling cancer."
His mother said, "At the match site I couldn't even let out a 'wow' once," explaining that she did not rejoice freely for fear of upsetting the parents of competing athletes, and recalled being anxious about causing any harm to her son. Life as Park Tae-hwan's mother was not easy. His mother said, "Even if it was hard I couldn't say it was hard; when Tae-hwan did well I felt good too, and that gave Tae-hwan the strength to live," and Park Tae-hwan also said, "I am grateful for my mother's sacrifice."
