‘Eternal Marine Boy’ Park Tae-hwan reveals his special relationship with actor Kim Hye-yoon.

In TV CHOSUN's 'Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Travels' (hereinafter referred to as 'Baekban Travels'), which airs at 7:50 pm on the 14th, Park Tae-hwan visits 'Baekban Travels' to feel the 'taste of the sea' in Haenam, Jeollanam-do.

Park Tae-hwan made a cameo appearance in the popular drama 'Seonjae and Jump', which became a hot topic. He raises curiosity by saying that the reason he appeared in the drama was "because of actor Kim Hye-yoon." Kim Hye-yoon visited the swimming pool run by Park Tae-hwan and learned to swim, and later, when Kim Hye-yoon asked him to appear in his drama, he made a promise.

He surprised Heo Yeong-man, a foodie, by saying, "Afterwards, I actually received an offer from the director of 'Seonjae and Jump'." Previously, Park Tae-hwan appeared on SBS' 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2_You Are My Destiny' on the 24th of last month and revealed that he had developed a close relationship with Byun Woo-seok by coaching him in swimming.

Next, Park Tae-hwan's swimming biography will be revealed. Park Tae-hwan, who started swimming on the recommendation of a doctor due to poor bronchial tubes as a child, says that he was actually "afraid of and hated water." What his mother threw to him was a ‘coin’. As he quickly picked up coins that had fallen in the water, he suddenly became the ‘youngest member of the Korean national swimming team’ and was eventually able to rise to number one in the world.

Behind the glory of Park Tae-hwan, who became the best player in the world, was his mother. His mother, who was suffering from a serious illness at the time, always visited the stadium to see her son, and when she heard the news of her son winning, she was so happy that she forgot the pain, so Park Tae-hwan said, "I worked harder (for my mother) to tread harder." Do more.

You can also hear the story of how the ‘Tower of Glory’ was built. While the average height of world-class swimmers such as Ian Thorpe, Grand Hackett, and Michael Phelps is over 190cm, Park Tae-hwan was only 184cm, but he was on par with them. Park Tae-hwan reveals on the air the strategy that enabled him to beat them and win the gold medal.

TV CHOSUN's 'Gourmet Heo Young-man's Alumni Journey' with eternal Marine Boy Park Tae-hwan's Haenam episode at the End of the Earth can be seen today (14th) at 7:50 PM.
