The South Korean women's badminton team won the Asian Men's and Women's Team Badminton Championship. This is the first time in both men and women that Korea has reached the top of the tournament.

The women's badminton team defeated host China 3-0 in the women's final of the tournament held at Konson Gymnasium in Qingdao, China on the 8th (Korea Standard Time).

This is the first time that the women's badminton team has won the tournament since the first tournament in 2016.

South Korea only won bronze medals in 2016 and 2018 and silver medals in 2020 and 2022 but did not reach the top. He lost to Japan in 2020 and Indonesia in 2022 and swallowed his disappointment in the final. However, through this competition, badminton has become the strongest in Asia.

Ahn Se-young, who was the "vanguard", neatly gained the upper hand. Ahn Se-young, who met Han Chen-si in the singles, won 2-0 (21-7, 21-14). It took only 39 minutes to win the first victory.

South Korea, which gained momentum, also won the women's doubles that followed by Baek Ha-na and Kim Hye-jeong, beating China's Jiaipan-Jang Xuan 2-0 (24-22, 21-8). The first game was won after a close game of deuce, and the second game was won by 13 points.

Kim Ga-eun, who competed in the women's singles, finished the tournament with a 2-1 (19-21, 21-10, 21-17) come-from-behind victory over Su Won-jing. Kim Ga-eun gave up one game, but finished the game by catching two games 21-10 with ease.

Kim Ga-eun, who faced her opponent fiercely in the third game, won the game by winning six points in a tight 11-11. Su Won-jing belatedly fought back, but he filled the last remaining "championship points." When the championship was confirmed, the national team players, including Ahn Se-young, entered the court with the national flag and enjoyed the moment of victory.
