(Incheon Airport = News 1) Reporter Daehyun Moon = Seo Seung-jae (27, Samsung Life Insurance), the national badminton player, is a doubles specialist and is ‘living two households.’ He is competing in men’s doubles with Kang Min-hyuk (25, Samsung Life Insurance) and mixed doubles with Chae Yu-jeong (29, Incheon International Airport).
The performance of both sports is not bad. She won men’s doubles gold at the India Open earlier this year and silver in mixed doubles at the French Open earlier this month.
As he participates in two events in each competition, he has more difficulty maintaining his physical strength than other players, but is playing without ups and downs. In particular, his skills were recognized enough to be selected as the 2023 Badminton World Federation (BWF) Male Player of the Year.
My will is also strong. In particular, he feels a great sense of responsibility because his partners’ performance depends on his play.
After finishing the French Open and All England Open, Seo Seung-jae met with reporters on the 19th on his return to Korea. When asked, “Don’t you think you want to do only one of the two sports?”, Seo Seung-jae answered without hesitation, “With the Olympics coming up, I have to work hard in both sports now.” He answered.
Seo Seung-jae said that his partners are having a hard time because of him. Then, Chae Yoo-jeong and Kang Min-hyuk expressed their gratitude to Seo Seung-jae.
Chae Yoo-jeong smiled and said, “I haven’t fully recovered from my injury (at the French Open), but I’m sorry and thankful that (Seo) Seung-jae suffered because of me,” and added, “I’m in the recovery process now, and I hope only good things happen in the future.”

Kang Min-hyuk said, “I’m always trying to find out what I can do for Seung Jae-hyung. If I think about many things, it will affect my play, so I’m only focusing on one men’s doubles game.”
Seo Seung-jae, who failed to win a prize at the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, is determined not to go through another ordeal at the 2024 Paris Olympics held this year.
Seo Seung-jae said with a confident expression, “I achieved some success at the French Open, but in the actual Olympics, the surrounding environment, including spectators, will change, so I need to prepare for that. I want to prepare better in the future and improve my performance.”
He said, “The most important thing is not to get hurt until the Olympics. We also need to improve our physical strength,” and pledged, “For every athlete, an Olympic gold medal is the ultimate goal. I will not lose confidence and will continue to work quietly to achieve what I want.” .
