Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalist archery star Kang Chae-young and beauty golfer Park Chae-baek are having a great year. Kang took first place in the individual competition at the World Archery Championships in September, while KLPGA star Park is looking to win her first title in seven years. Another thing these two athletes have in common is their radiant smiles, which are as bright as their performances on the field.
🎯 Archery star Kang Chae-young’s shining choice “I don’t cover my mouth anymore”

In September 2025, Kang Chae-young’s big smile after winning the women’s individual event at the World Archery Championships was the talk of the town. After winning her first gold medal in more than a decade in her fifth appearance, she expressed her joy with a beaming smile that was accentuated by her even, clean teeth.
In fact, Kang Chae-young’s bright smile is the story behind her ‘minish’. In the past, she suffered from a dental complex that caused her to cover her mouth when she smiled due to her small front teeth. Gradually losing confidence in her smile, she visited Minish Dental Clinic to solve her aesthetic concerns.
The medical team’s diagnosis revealed that his teeth were wearing down due to his habit of clenching his teeth during workouts, which Kang says was the first time he realized it.
“Some of my fellow archers had done minish, and my coach at the Tokyo Olympics had done it, so I trusted him.”
After the mini-show, Kang said she felt more confident when she smiled.
“The day I finished Minish, I couldn’t stop looking in the mirror, and I practiced smiling in the mirror, and I realized I could smile better because I had pretty teeth.”
After the procedure, he was pleased with the natural feel without any foreign objects, and his archery training was not interrupted at all. The previously small and hollow appearance of his teeth was completely eliminated.
“It’s not a lot of teeth being removed, and it’s not a painful procedure. The day of the procedure can be a little painful, but you can see your smile the same evening, so if you’re concerned about your teeth, you don’t have to wait long.”
⛳ KLPGA’s golf star, Bam Bam Pro, upgrades her look with Minish
South Korea’s most beautiful golfer, Park Chae-baek, is looking to win her first title this season. With a gold medal in the women’s individual event at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and a No. 1 seeding on the KLPGA Tour in 2015, Park is still in her prime in her 11th year.
Behind Park’s beautiful smile, there’s a ‘minish’. It’s been four years since he had the procedure, but he still boasts a healthy, natural-looking smile.
She says that past orthodontic treatments hadn’t completely resolved her dental concerns, and that she experienced dental stress from being photographed from different angles during competitions, which led her naturally to Minish.
“I can really see the difference between the before and after after the mini-shave, and since it protects my existing natural teeth, I feel like I have healthier teeth that are both aesthetically and functionally pleasing.”
She’s always been a gallery favorite with her bright smile. We’re rooting for Minish to show off her beautiful smile once again with her first win of the season.
