In KBS2 'New Release Pyeon Restaurant' (hereinafter 'Pyeon Restaurant'), which will be broadcast on the 13th, Park Tae-hwan's honest confession will be revealed forever. Park Tae-hwan, the swimming legend who wrote the history of swimming in Korea with an enormous record. Park's fierce efforts and passion behind the spectacular record, his family's heart watching from the sidelines, and Park's heart for his family are expected to touch viewers Friday evening.
In the VCR, which will be released on the same day, Park Tae-hwan gently talks to his sister on the phone. Discussing Park's current situation, Park's older sister says "Didn't you just enjoy what others did normally because you were working out?" "You look comfortable and good these days," Park Tae-hwan said, making him cry.
During his nearly three-decade career, Park endured more intense training than anyone else. Park Tae-hwan, who first began swimming at the age of 5, said, `I woke up at 4 a.m. and lived for nearly 30 years to get it at 5 a.m. I just whipped without a carrot. I think I've done a lot."
Nevertheless, the driving force behind Park's training was his family. Park Tae-hwan says, "My mother used to have a hard time fighting cancer." Park recalls "No matter how much pain I feel like my heart is going to explode, I think I endured it thinking it was nothing compared to the pain my mother feels."
When asked about the happiest time of his career, Park Tae-hwan says, `I feel good when I won first place, but more than that, when I gave my parents a house gift.' After learning how Park Tae-hwan, who was selected as the youngest member of the national team at the age of 14, endured a hard time, the family praised him, saying, `The national hero was the national filial piety.' In addition, Park Tae-hwan is surprised by explaining why he once wanted to quit, saying that he was a swimmer who poured everything into it. The detailed story of what the reason might have been is revealed in 'Pyeon Restaurant'.
Meanwhile, KBS2 'Pyeon Restaurant' will air at 8:30 p.m. on the 13th.
