Let's make this birthday one to remember.

35 years old (Born on September 27, 1989)

Happy Birthday, Park Tae-Hwan! You're the swimming sensation who made waves by becoming South Korea's first Olympic medalist in swimming. Your golden splash at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the men's 400-meter freestyle didn't just earn you a gold medal—it earned you eternal bragging rights and endless poolside admiration!

From setting records to inspiring countless swimmers back home, your achievements have truly been legendary. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps fewer chlorine-scented moments than usual.

Keep making history (and splashes), because you're not only an incredible athlete but also our favorite reason for cheering loudly from dry land!
