Badminton men's doubles Seo Seung-jae (29) and Kim Won-ho (27, Samsung Life Insurance) won the men's doubles at the most prestigious Jeon Young Open and won the competition for the second consecutive time. This marks the first time in 40 years that Korean badminton has performed in men's doubles.

Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho defeated Joe Aaron Chia-So-ik (Malaysia) 2-1 (18-21, 21-12, 21-19) in the men's doubles final of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 1000 Jeon Young Open at Utilita Arena in Birmingham, England on the 9th (Korea time).

Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho, who are ranked first in men's doubles, won their second consecutive competition following last year. It is the first great achievement in 40 years at the tournament since Park Joo-bong and Kim Moon-soo won the title for two consecutive years in 1985 and 1986.

Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) suffered an unexpected loss to Wang Zhi (China) in the women's singles final, and Baek Ha-na and Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport) also finished second, making the joy even more doubled.

Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho got off to a shaky start with an 18-21 loss after giving up the lead in one game.

However, in the second game, he steadily took the lead from the beginning and gradually widened the score gap, before winning 21-12 lightly.

There was also a crisis in the three games. The two, who gave up the lead from the beginning and started the game, were dragged 7-12 and the spirit of defeat hung over them.

However, the two, who succeeded in chasing in an instant with four consecutive points, continued their tight flow after tying the game 13-13, but turned around with three consecutive points at 15-16 and kept the lead, eventually ending the championship.

The two, who worked together seven years ago, reunited early last year and became the world's top duo. After working together again, he rose to No. 1 in the BWF world rankings in six months and continued his strides by sweeping all the most prestigious competitions such as the Jeon Young Open, the World Championship, and the World Tour Final.

Since the beginning of the new year, Seo Seung-jae has caused anxiety due to his shoulder injury, but he has won two consecutive games at the most prestigious Jeon Young Open and delivered good news to Korean badminton.
