The Korean women's badminton team led by Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) has taken a step closer to the top of Asia for the first time in history.

The women's badminton team is competing with China in the final of the 2026 Asian Men's and Women's Badminton Championships at Konson Gymnasium in Qingdao, China on the 8th.

Ahn Se-young, who took a break in the semifinals against Indonesia the previous day, took the first round of women's singles again on the same day, defeating Hanchensi 2-0 (21-7, 21-14) in 39 minutes to take the lead.

Ahn Se-young, the world No. 1 in women's singles, showed off her overwhelming skills gap by winning one game 21-7 against 38th-ranked Hansi. With the score tied 4-4, he won 10 consecutive points and took the lead early.

Ahn faced 11-11 at one point in two games, but after taking a 15-14 lead, Ahn finished the game with six points.

Currently, Baek Ha-na and Kim Hye-jeong are in the process of women's doubles, the second game, while Kim Ga-eun will play in the women's singles, Lee Seo-jin and Lee Yeon-woo will play in the women's doubles, and Kim Min-ji will play in the women's singles order.

The biennial competition is Asia's most prestigious group competition. Korea is aiming for its first win at a time when it has secured a berth to participate in the World Women's Team Championships (Uber Cup) to be held in Denmark in April.

The Korean women's team finished second in the last 2020 and 2022 competitions, but has never topped the Asian team event yet. I am going to challenge a new history in this competition.
