Yonex badminton team recruited coaches Lee Cheol-ho, Noh Jin-seong, and Park Sang-yong ahead of the 2024 season.
Yonex held a new player induction ceremony with coach Lee Cheol-ho at the ‘Yonex Brand 2024SS Trade Show’ held at Pie Factory Studio in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 18th.
Coach Lee Cheol-ho played for the national team at Korea National Sport University and Suwon City Hall during his active career, and gained experience as a youth coach after retirement. Yonex expects that coach Lee Cheol-ho, along with coach Park Yong-je and playing coach Lee Yong-dae, will be of great help in developing the players’ skills.
The addition of Noh Jin-seong and Park Sang-yong is also notable. Noh Jin-seong is a promising doubles star who joined MG Saemaeul Geumgo in 2022 and was called a top three player along with teammates Jin-yong and Ahn Yun-seong (Samsung Life Insurance) during his high school days. Ahead of this season, with his transfer to Yonex, he was re-elected as a member of the national team, raising expectations for his performance. Park Sang-yong, a promising singles player who joined Yonex upon graduating from Hallym University, is also expected to help improve the team’s singles power along with Jeon Hyeok-jin. Yonex hopes that Noh Jin-seong and Park Sang-yong, along with playing coach Lee Yong-dae, Jin Yong, 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games silver medalist Choi Sol-gyu, and national team member Kim Jae-hyun, can contribute to the team’s national domination.
Noh Jin-seong and Park Sang-yong said, “I will show you with actions rather than words. “I will work hard and be helpful to the team,” he said about joining the team. Kim Cheol-woong, CEO of Yonex, said, “I am happy to have great players and coaches joining us and look forward to this season. “I hope that they will display good skills in line with the spirit of the team, which strives to do its best regardless of win or loss under the motto of fair sportsmanship,” he said.
