When you think of badminton, Ahn Se-young comes to mind, but we also have the world’s best doubles team in badminton.
Although they are receiving relatively less attention overshadowed by Ahn Se-young, the Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae duo, who recorded the most wins this season, are also on the hunt for a gold medal at the New Year’s Asian Games.
This is reporter Lee Jeong-mi.

A shuttlecock flies diagonally and lands inside the line.
Hey~!
This is the moment when the combination of Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae confirms the most wins of the season, 11.
Seo Seung-jae, who is already a world class player, met again with Kim Won-ho early this year, seven years later.
The so-called ‘chemistry’ began to explode.
Quick transition to attack while defending against successive smashes is essential.
Seung-jae Seo, who completely changes the direction of the shuttlecock to score, and Won-ho Kim, who changes his position from the back to the front and attacks while looking to the side, are overwhelming their opponents in terms of smash angle and defense speed.
At the end of the year, they even considered withdrawing from the world tour due to Kim Won-ho’s back injury.

Because we helped each other,

In the end, we lifted the championship cup.
“we are the champion~”
Even though he recorded 10 wins before Ahn Se-young, he received less attention because he was overshadowed by Ahn Se-young, who was so overwhelming, but his will and ability were enough to capture the world’s attention.
Although they are a golden duo that has already conquered the world, the Asian Games and Olympic crowns are still problems that have not been solved.

유독 아시안게임에선 금메달이 없었던 우리 배드민턴 남자복식팀.
김원호-서승재가 내년 9월 나고야에서 새 역사에 도전합니다.
