Marine Boy and Yoon Eun-hye hook up for Basic House

What does winning the Olympic gold medal get a hot rising athlete? An ad campaign with a top star, of course.

“Marine boy” and two-time Olympic medalist swimmer (one gold, one silver at the Beijing Games) Park Tae-hwan is teaming up with Yoon Eun-hye to sell clothing for the apparel company Basic House. They recently coupled up to shoot photos for the winter line.

The clothing brand expressed a desire to go for high-profile stars to head their winter campaign, and I guess pairing a gold medalist with one of the most popular young actresses around oughtta achieve that nicely. (Although I don’t know why they had to give Yoon Eun-hye fake hair instead of letting her wear her own proudly. At least get good fake hair; she looks like she’s wearing a mop on her head. Or frazzled straw.)

He IS wooden stiff. But that's to be expected. YEH is a pro at posing in front of camera, and he isn't even a celebrity. (or is he ?)

Yeah, The pics came out really awkward.

word to what mars said. park taehwan is definitely an amazing swimmer, but mang, he's not great at modeling [but then again, he's NOT a model]. he lacks expression in those photos. i think he looks better in ads and commercials for other things where all he has to do is smile :)

Well......at least he'll always have that swimming gig to fall back on :P The juxtaposition of YEH doing her hot steamy model poses and him doing his "as long as I dont blink or breathe, I wont come out blurry" makes the shoot that much odder. That said, this is part of her day job and not part of his, so the comparison isnt fair.

Lol, he looks so stiff & awkward in the photoshoot.
Modeling isn't for every one.
Well if it's his 1st modeling job, I'll cut him some slack

He looks so stiff here... haha. and his face is so big compared to Yoon Eun Hye's. They don't look like a couple, if that's what Basic House was trying to go for. More like nuna and dongseng.

I'm pretty sure that he's not the first guy that got a little stiff standing so close to YEH!

Maybe it's just me but I don't think he's cute at all. Good swimmer but good looking he is not.

Haha his face has the same expression in both pics. Like others said, though, he looks awkward. Maybe he can't relax because he's standing next to Yoon Eunhye. :)

He's cute but to me he just looks like a little puppy. He doesn't look like a model at all. And he's just not the model type for fashion. Yea I agree, I hope he sticks to his sporting endorsements. He looks way more natural in the pool
