Chairman Kim Jung-soo of the Business Badminton Federation presented a plaque of appointment to Min-ki Kim and Su-yeong Jang at the Hwado Sports and Culture Center in Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do on the same day and asked them to act as public relations ambassadors.
Kim Min-ki also attracted attention as a badminton talent while appearing in the entertainment program ‘Racquet Boys’.
