Baseball legend Park Yong-taek “I was a minish”

2025.05.23

Commentator Park Yong-taek, who was a leading hitter in Korean professional baseball for 20 years, has been making headlines for his straight teeth and bright smile. The secret is Minish, and we’ll show you how it’s transformed his smile.

Another concern for broadcaster Park Yong-taek is his teeth.

Park Yong-taek, who often appears in front of the camera as a commentator and broadcaster, has a trademark bright, wide smile. However, his small, asymmetrical teeth, protruding like fangs, and gaps between his gums, which are slightly receding, have become a source of concern for him.

Concerned about the appearance of his teeth, he naturally googled “laminates” and “whitening treatments” and found Minish.

Teeth are a ‘feature’… and a ‘minish’

Park had undergone several surgeries for jaw joint problems during his athletic career, so he views his teeth as “the most functionally important part of his body,” not just “cosmetic,” and a conventional procedure that would require him to remove a lot of healthy teeth was not an option.

“I started looking for an answer to the question, ‘Is there a way to improve the aesthetics of my teeth while keeping the condition almost the same?” he says, and the answer was Minish.

Commissioner Park repeatedly emphasized that she was “really nice” about the experience. He felt very satisfied that he was guided through his questions and concerns about Minish, and said of Mr. Lee, “As a father with a daughter, he’s someone I can trust, like, ‘I want this to be my son-in-law.

The smiling confidence I found with Minish

“The confidence to smile broadly” was one of the changes he hoped to see with Minish, and it came true.

Park’s dental improvement project wasn’t just about changing his appearance; he knew from his athletic days how important his teeth were to his body, and Minish was a smart choice to help him stay healthy and feel more confident.

“I used to get a little nervous when I laughed, but now I just let it out, and you’ll probably see me laughing on the baseball field a lot this season.”

His smile is no longer cautious, it’s a full-blown Park Yong-taek-pyo smile, and it’s one we’ll definitely be seeing more of on the baseball field this season.

Dr. Lee Joo-hong, the director of Minish Dental Clinic Gangnam, who restored the bright smile of Commissioner Park Yong-taek, is the first director of Minish Dental Clinic and has accumulated about 20,000 Minish treatment cases to create harmonious smile lines.

Here’s what Lee had to say about Minish behind the scenes.

Q. What was Dr. Minish’s biggest dental concern?

She told us that her two biggest concerns were her small dwarf teeth and her yellowed teeth color, and she wanted to know if Minish could really improve them.

Q. What was the actual state of my teeth and oral health?

Many athletes have a habit of clenching their teeth, which is why Park had quite a few chipped and pitted teeth at the neck of his teeth.

So even though she was feeling fine for the time being, it seemed likely that she would have future problems. I explained to her that Minish would help with the soreness, and that it would help her dental health in many ways.

Q. Was there anything in particular that you paid attention to during the minish?

I paid a lot of attention to the overall proportions and design to make sure they were the right size, organized, and looked cool when smiling.

He was very satisfied with the results, and I was proud to hear that his wife, who was also visiting, said that she would definitely come back for a mini-meal after the treatment.
