The Star Turn of Park Tae-hwan in ‘Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant’

Dive into Fun-Staurant with Park Tae-hwan’s Unique Flavor
A Legendary Comeback
Renowned swimmer and South Korea’s beloved ‘Marine Boy’, Park Tae-hwan, makes waves yet again, this time as a ‘Fun-Chef’ in Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant on KBS2. Scheduled for broadcast on June 6, Park invites viewers into his post-retirement life, complete with culinary delights and vibrant energy.
Morning Routines of a Champion
Park’s routine still echoes his athlete lifestyle. Each morning, he begins by standing on the scale, a habit tracing back to his competitive swimming days. The VCR footage reveals his remarkable physical condition—boasting a body fat percentage of just 8.2%, rivaling that of active athletes.
The Art of Bread
Park Tae-hwan’s morning isn’t complete without bread. His love for baked goods has earned him the playful nickname ‘Bbang-Tae-hwan’ (Bbang means bread in Korean). On this particular morning, Park joyfully devours a whole loaf, his face lighting up with satisfaction and uttering, “This is happiness.”

“I’m not a big eater; I just eat well,” he quips, denying his appetite with a chuckle. His affection for bread is not merely a hobby; it’s a glimpse into a leisurely pleasure he couldn’t indulge during his intense training years.
Life After the Pool
When asked about the best part of retirement, Park reminisced, “Every day felt the same during my athlete days. I woke up at 4 AM and lived by a tightly scheduled day.” Now, freed of those constraints, he reflects on the joy of savoring life’s flavors without limits. His comments leave viewers both chuckling and touched by his candid realization.
Park’s journey from a decorated swimming career to relaxed life depicts the freedom to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. His humorous yet poignant story can be fully experienced in Stars’ Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant, airing every Friday at 8:30 PM on KBS2.
