South Korean star Seo Seung-jae, who is a two-player in the 2025 Sudirman Cup: I want to play like coach Park Joo-bong

"The coach also played two projects during his active role. Because I was given a lot of advice, I also want to prepare well......" Seo Seung-jae, the core of the doubles event of the Korean badminton team, replied when asked by reporters about his thoughts on ending the 2025 Sudirman Cup World Badminton Mixed Championships after returning to Incheon International Airport on the 5th local time.

On the 5th, the South Korean team participating in the 2025 Su Cup is returning home through Incheon International Airport. From left: Park Joo-bong, Seo Seung-jae, Ahn Se-young, and Kim Dong-moon, chairman of the Korean Badminton Association.

Seo Seung-jae said, "I should have done as well as Coach Park Joo-bong did when I was active, but I couldn't do it, so it's a pity." But the coach added a lot of details in the game. ”

In this year's Su Cup, Xu Chengjae played two men's doubles and mixed doubles games from the final round of the group stage against the Chinese Taipei team, and his physical burden was heavier than that of other players.

In the first mixed doubles match of the semifinals against Indonesia, Seo Seung-jae and Choi Yoo-hyun won 2-0, and in the fourth match of the men's doubles, they partnered with Kim Won-ho to compete fiercely with their opponents, but after showing a difficult expression, they lost 1-2. In the middle of the term, the two sides played to a 20-all tie in the final game, and Seo Seung-jae/Kim Won-ho lost 23-25.

When asked if he was tired during the competition, Seo Seung-jae smiled and said, "Anyway, it's an honor for me to represent Korea in two events. Although I wanted to fight with a sense of responsibility, I saw the shortcomings and felt sorry. "In this year's Su Cup, although the South Korean team stepped on the final stage, it lost 1-3 to the host and defending champion Chinese team and won the runner-up. Seo Seung-jae recalled, "It's a pity that we didn't get the result we wanted, but it's good that the players who haven't been in a long time came together to participate in the competition. There is a difference in physical strength with the Chinese team. We wanted to fight to the end, but the details seemed to be underdone. ”

It is said that Seo Seung-jae wants to learn a lot from Park Joo-bong, the "old-timer" of the Korean men's doubles and the current head coach of the Korean badminton team. Seo Seung-jae said: "Coaches have their own philosophy. We can also believe this, which seems to be different (from before). Coaches have always wanted to reduce the sense of distance with their players. It seems to be trying to get close to the players. ”

Park Joo-bong was a "doubles specialist" who excelled in men's doubles and mixed doubles during his active career. Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 won gold in men's doubles and silver in mixed doubles. Park Joo-bong said to Seo Seung-jae, who is juggling two projects like himself when he was on active duty, "It's tiring, but because I'm the captain, I have a great sense of responsibility. In fact, I also wondered if it would be better for (Seo Seung-jae) to focus on only one event in the (Sue Cup) final. ”

Park Joo-bong also added, "Although I discussed it with the coaching staff, the player (Seo Seung-jae) said that he would still play. Thank you for saying 'OK'. Although I unfortunately lost the mixed doubles match with China in the final, I think I made the most of it. ”
