He said, “Thank you very much for all the warm and unchanging cheering. I will do my best to reward you with good performance in the future.”
Ahn Se -young was at the center of the topic after revealing the conflict with the Korea Badminton Association after achieving the badminton women’s singles gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics last year. At that time, Ahn Se -young discussed the problem of the association’s representative athlete management and revealed an uncomfortable relationship with the association and national team manager. In addition, he complained about the use of only the association’s sponsorship supplies and demanded that the player allowed a personal sponsorship so that the player could receive legitimate compensation.
Ahn Se -young’s raising this problem caused a big wave in the Korean badminton world, and the Ministry of Culture and Industry was able to grasp the facts, leading to the reform of badminton. In addition, after the new inauguration of Kim Dong -moon, the head of the Korea Badminton Association, the national team was officially allowed last month.
As a result, you can receive personal sponsors for rackets, sneakers, and guards that can affect your performance, and Ahn Se -young has signed a personal sponsorship with Yonex. Ahn Se -young’s sponsorship contract is said to be about 10 billion won for four years.
