Park Tae-hwan, a broadcaster and former national team swimmer, has drawn attention with a noticeably sharper, idol-like appearance.

Park posted several photos on his social media account Friday, captioning them "Just popping by."

In the photos, Park stood before the camera in a white T-shirt layered with a knit top.

Park struck relaxed poses against a backdrop of sweeping lawns, autumn foliage and a glowing sunset.

What stood out most was a visibly slimmer face. Fuller cheeks have given way to more defined features, adding to a look that has drawn wide admiration.

Since retiring from competitive swimming, Park has consistently stayed in the public eye, making regular appearances on various entertainment programs.
