Winner of Multicultural Badminton Competition “The fruits of my family’s support”

“If you have a multicultural family who is depressed, I recommend grabbing a racket”

(Goyang = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Sang-seo = “It’s literally the 4th season in three matches. I was thrilled to win today because I kept trying.”

Yang Seung-an (47, Kimje, Jeonbuk), who took first place in the couple’s doubles at the ’12th National Multicultural Family Badminton Tournament’ held at the Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi Province on the 27th, hosted by Yonhap News Agency, the national key news agency and Goyang City Sports Association, said this.

Yang, who climbed to the top with his Filipino wife, Emelita (33), said, “The best result I’ve had in four appearances so far was runner-up.

Yang suggested joining a badminton club three years ago to help his wife adjust to life in Korea. At first, the wife was not good at holding the racket, but she quickly started having fun with it.

He boasted, “My wife’s athleticism is not normal,” and “probably the best among women living in my hometown.”

Emelita also laughed, saying, “I caught up with my husband after three years of learning.” “Now I think I can play better.”

Yang said, “When I first practiced, my wife and I quarreled a lot because we didn’t get along well, but now we can just look at each other’s eyes. I want to share,” he said.

Woo Chang-wook (50, Yeongju, Gyeongbuk), the men’s singles winner, said, “I want to share the joy of being normal with my 4-month-old daughter.

Woo, who married his Vietnamese wife in 2019, confessed, “I came up alone due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

He said, “Actually, the opponent I met in the final was a friend of my neighborhood. I think he probably gave up the championship on purpose. When I go back to my hometown, I will treat you with the prize money I received today.”

Woo, who said that he would like to attend next year’s competition with the whole family, said, “I really want to eat the home-cooked food my wife made,” laughed.

Keiko Honda, 46, the women’s singles winner, is a regular contestant. He has competed five times this year, but has yet to win a championship.

When Keiko left her acceptance speech saying, “I have fulfilled a long wish. I was just lucky,” my husband, who was next to me, said, “I went ‘all in’ to badminton practice all week.”

Keiko said, “I have learned a lot while learning badminton, such as health, a positive mindset, and good people.

Born in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, he said, “With the prize money, I want to eat delicious food and go on a trip to my ‘family’.
