Park Tae Hwan Sticks to Swimming

As the first Korean to ever win a swimming gold at the Olympics, Park Tae Hwan has been receiving more attention from the media than most athletes. However, with so many networks inviting him to attend shows as guest star, Park Tae Hwan is still not tempted enough to stay in the spotlight. His father, when asked in an interview, said that an athlete should not be appearing in the public's eye as anything but an athlete. Now that the Olympics are over, Park Tae Hwan will be spending most of his time in school, just like any normal student would. Of course he's going to be treated a bit different by the teachers and student body, but it comes with the territory. I have to say, the kid is smart. It's really better to stick to what you know how to do, rather than making a fool out of yourself doing something you really have no clue about... like Rain does, in well, everything he has been doing lately. Rain might be water, but the true king of the water in Korea is Park Tae Hwan.
