(Seoul = News1) Lim Sung -il, a sports reporter = Ahn Se -young (23), who challenged the second consecutive defeat of the badminton world championship, was defeated by the semi -finals. It is a big failure to miss the biggest goal of the season, and it is blocked by the ‘ruined’ thousand weapons.

Ahn Se-young lost 0-2 (15-21 17-21) to China’s Cheonsi Pay in the women’s singles semi-finals of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Badminton Championship held at the Adidas Arena in Paris, France on the 30th of last month.

Ahn Se -young, who set up a new milestone in the Copenhagen, Denmark in 2023, was aiming for two consecutive steps, but he was defeated.

Ahn Se -young blamed himself in an interview with BWF after defeat, “I was afraid of mistakes,” he said. “The preparation process was good, but I couldn’t show my skills.” On the 2nd, there was a lot of self -confidence that “I did not believe in myself.”

Even though he is already on the top, he said, “I want to be a player who doesn’t lose,” or “I want to be a fearful player.” But no player always wins. For Ahn Se -young, it seems that it is important to be more than winning.

There is no player who does not lose. In particular, the masters of the masters are not really unknown. (Provided by the Korea Badminton Association)

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics gold medalist, Cheonsu Pay is a family register. Ahn Se -young lost only three times in a personal official game in 2025, two of which were defeated by Cheonsu Pay.

Ahn Se -young, who was winning at the start of the season, was caught by Cheonsu Pay in the Singapore Open quarter -finals in May and drank his first bitter glass this year. Last month, the second defeat was defeated by a knee injury in the Chinese Open Semi -finals, which was blocked by Cheonsu Pay again at the world championship. Ahn Se -young is somewhat pushed with 13 wins and 14 losses in all -time records with Cheonsu Pay.

Ahn Se -young, who received the bitter results, wrote on his SNS, “I did everything to keep the title. I’m collapsed. I will try to be more perfect.” However, it is not the result of lack of effort. Ahn Se -young is more confident in sweating.

Park Joo -bong, another legend of Badminton, who leads the national team, said, “Se -young is currently the world’s ranking, but in fact, the world -class players are one -time car. I’m struggling to catch. ”

It is also important to accept the defeat well because there is a long way to go forward. (Provided by the Korea Badminton Association)

It is not a word to comfort the disciple. After defeating Ahn Se-young in the semi-finals and approaching the international championship for a long time, Cheonsu Pay lost to Yamaguchi 0-2 (9-21 13-21) in the final. Would it have been easy to think that I crossed the biggest mountain? He was defeated without even trying hard. The masters of the masters are not really unknown.

If you have a winner, you will surely come out. If you are a family out of the game, you won’t have to worry, but it’s almost impossible. Ahn Se -young’s odds are sighed from other players.

There are so many snow to watch, and the expectation of the world will continue to grow, so Ahn Se -young will be more and more complicated in your head, but sometimes you need a simple attitude to accept the results.

Now he is a young player with a twenty -three and a long way. In order to be a perfect player like your own commitment, you must also digest your defeat. There are players who strain themselves, so ‘the world’s No. 1 Ahn Se -young’ is also shining.
