The South Korean women's badminton team won the Asian Men's and Women's Team Badminton Championship for the first time. It is the fifth challenge since the first competition in 2016. He shook off the disappointment of being frustrated twice in the final and stood tall as the new strongest team in Asia. Ahn Se-young, the "world's strongest" who finished the game in less than 40 minutes in all three games he played, had a great presence.

The women's badminton team defeated China 3-0 in the women's final of the tournament held at Konson Gymnasium in Qingdao, China on the 8th (Korea time). South Korea, which won bronze medals in 2016 and 2018 and silver medals in 2020 and 2022, stood at the top of Asia for the first time in 10 years since the foundation of the competition. The qualification for the Denmark World Women's Team Championship (Uber Cup) in April has already been secured by advancing to the semifinals of the tournament.

The final "vanguard" of the championship was also up to ace Ahn Se-young. Ahn Se-young, who faced Han Chen-si, took the lead in just 39 minutes. He took the first game 21-7 with ease, and won the second game 21-14. Ahn Se-young beat Chiu Finchian in 39 minutes in the second round of the group stage and Let's Hana Karupatevan in 36 minutes in the quarterfinals against Malaysia. And even the final was the first to finish the women's singles. All three games played in this tournament ended in less than 40 minutes.

As Ahn Se-young, who played in the first game of singles, clearly gained the upper hand, the players on the court also eased the burden. On the same day, Baek Ha-na and Kim Hye-jeong, who worked together in doubles, beat the Giipan-Jang Shu-ian 2-0 (24-22, 21-8). Kim Ga-eun, who played in singles, then ended the final with a come-from-behind victory, winning two games even after giving up one game. It was a 'perfect win' without having to play the waiting doubles and singles.

Ahn Se-young, who won the Malaysian Open and Indian Open one after another, led the women's team to the championship and experienced all three competitions she participated in this season. Coincidentally, the Malaysian and Indian Open earlier defeated the Chinese Wang Zhiyi, and the women's team event also beat the Chinese team. Chinese badminton continues the so-called ball 'an' evidence.

Meanwhile, the men's national team, which participated in this competition, lost to China in the semifinals the day before amid the absence of Seo Seung-jae's shoulder injury, and ended the competition with a bronze medal. It is the fifth bronze medal among the six competitions in history. Instead, he succeeded in winning the World Championship, which is given to the semifinals of the tournament.
