Current personal life updates of former Korean national athletes: Romance sparks between Park Tae Hwan and Sandara Park, Lee Sang Hwa enjoys traveling with Kangnam 

After sweeping gold medals at worldwide sports events, former national athletes are focusing on personal lives. 

Ko Woo Rim recently joined MBC’s “Where is My Home?” to talk about his marriage life with former national figure skater Yuna Kim. The couple got married in October last year. 

Ko Woo Rim said about the interior of their new house, “I like coffee, so I made a small cafe space at home. But later, I have the desire to decorate the whole house like a cafe”. He added, “I didn’t get very involved. About 95 percent of the time, I followed my wife’s opinion. I think her opinion is more important”. 

Yuna Kim bought the villa for 2.2 billion won in December 2011 and has been living in it since. She reportedly renovated the interiors ahead of her marriage to Ko Woo Rim. This luxurious villa is a 10-story building with a view of the Han River. It is also famous for being Jang Dong Gun and Ko So Young’s place of living before the couple. 

Former national swimmer Park Tae Hwan is appearing on Channel A’s “Groom’s Class”, a program in which cast members of various ages share their thoughts and realities of marriage. Through “Groom’s Class”, Park Tae Hwan has recently been dating Sandara Park, who he claimed to be his ideal type in the past.

Park Tae Hwan reunited with Sandara Park on “Groom’s Class” after their first meeting 13 years ago. They did the things Sandara Park always wanted to do. 

The two went on to talk about dating. When Park Tae Hwan asked, “Who is the best person among ‘Groom’s Class’ members?” to which, Sandara Park replied, “Jae Joong is out. I can’t even imagine it because I know him well. If I had to pick one, it would be you”. 

Kangnam, former speed skater Lee Sang Hwa’s husband, hints at their couple’s plan about having children or not. On their appearance on KBS2’s “Walking Into the Circle”, Lee Sang Hwa and Kangnam went on a trip to the Philippines. Kangnam proudly said, “Among men my age, I would have been to places like this the most,” and was proud to be a travel expert in warm countries. Then he asked, “Sang Hwa only goes because it’s cold every day, and she can’t even go on a trip?” The former speed skater recalled, “We had to take care of our bodies, so we had accommodations and rinks, and since it’s a game on the weekend anyway, we go to another country right away.” When Kangnam asked, “If you were to do it again, would you do it?” Lee Sang Hwa firmly replied, “No”, without hesitation. 

MC Kyuhyun asked, “If a 2-year-old comes out, will you exercise?” Kangnam said, “I heard what my wife did, so I don’t think she would make me exercise. Life seems so hard and she said that she was happy just the day she won the gold medal. They kept saying that.”
