Park Tae-hwan is marine boy

20080729_parktaehwan1

Korea’s swimming sensation, Park Tae-hwan cannot carry a tune, but the boy sure has skills (not to mention a hot swimming body). The 17 year old is widely considered as one of the best up and coming athletes on the international scene. The gold medal contender for the 2008 Beijing Olympics stars in a super cute CF for mobile service provider, SK Telecom.

“Hwaiting” Park Tae-hwan!

International swimwear brand, Speedo, has signed on Park Tae-hwan earlier this year.

  11. 11 Steph July 29, 2008 at 3:52 am

    Lol, agree with Taejus and hozt. Can’t even compete with Phelps.

  12. 12 anonymous July 29, 2008 at 3:52 am

    He does have a nice body :P

    ^—- Please, if you don’t like the banner, keep it to yourself.
    Sheessh, just one banner and all the haters go crazy -.-

    Would you rather see JYP in his plastic pants?

    Phelps is LEGEND (Olympic qualification at FIFTEEN!) but this kiddie is not too bad at all either. Lots of potential and he’s nowhere near his prime yet.

    As for his body - he has a fine swimmer’s body, not too big at all, just impeccably toned. If anything swimming makes GIRLS look like they’re on steroids, especially butterfliers. All the shoulder, neck, and back muscles that form all but hide cleavage already squished by race suits. Then add a cap and goggles XD And even out of water, a female flier can’t dream of wearing shoulder emphasizing shirts w/o looking like a transgender ^_^

    Also, I think the banner is fine. For chrissake it’s just a bloody banner.

    He’s cute as long as his face keeps moving.

  18. 18 Ria July 29, 2008 at 9:28 am

    omg total butterface. er.. um.. buttHISface, i guess it would be. although his smile was cute at the end.

  19. 19 starz12 July 29, 2008 at 10:40 am

    he’s only seventeen??? he looks older than his age.
    hot body though…

  20. 20 moo July 29, 2008 at 11:20 am

    i can’t believe he’s seventeen either.

    he looks wayy much older. not good looking imo, seen much better. but what the heck, he’s a swimmer. if he swims well, that’s all that matters.

    banner is o-k but it’d be even better if you changed it. heh. never a fan of, i don’t know who is who, girl group. sorry.

  21. 21 millie July 29, 2008 at 12:41 pm

  24. 24 cOOLrOCKsOCks July 29, 2008 at 3:26 pm

    Man, I’d lick his body up and down! Of course he’d have a bag over his head.

  25. 25 Truth July 29, 2008 at 7:53 pm

    hozt, taejus, steph:

    Phelps will not and cannot compete in Park Tae Hwan’s 400m freestyle. PTW is the favorite to win gold in 400m, a medal contender in 200m and possibly 1600m. As for 400m, Park will blow Phelps away. Park defeated Grant Hackett(AU) in the world championship last year. You guys are idiots, educate yourself before you speak.

  27. 27 paulinaa July 30, 2008 at 12:53 am

    ummm, obviously he can’t compete with him since they’re not in the same catagories!
    Michael Phelps is basically only good at butterfly and freestyle.
    Geez, do some research before you talk -_-

  28. 28 asdf July 30, 2008 at 2:17 am

    he’s 18, not 17
    and Michael Phelps does IM, butterfly, backstroke, and freestyle

  29. 29 anne July 30, 2008 at 9:18 am

    he’s not 17.
    he’s born in 1989.

  30. 30 asianromance July 30, 2008 at 1:14 pm

    how can a 17 year old have such a ripped body?!! i remember when I was 17, almost all the guys were stick thin or chubby!

  31. 31 Nana August 12, 2008 at 4:35 pm
