The Korean badminton mixed doubles pair of Seo Seung-jae (Samsung Life Insurance) and Chae Yu-jeong (Incheon International Airport) won their first match at the 2024 Paris Olympics. On
the 27th (Korean time), Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jeong defeated Koceila Mammery and Tanina Violet Mammery (Algeria) 2-0 (21-10 21-7) in the first match of Group B of the mixed doubles preliminary round at the Porte de la Chapelle in Paris, France. Seo
Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jeong, ranked 3rd in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) world rankings, rang in the victory with an overwhelming performance, including 5 consecutive points in the first game and 9 consecutive points in the second game.
Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yu-jeong, who have the green light to advance to the quarterfinals, will face off against Robin Taveling-Celeni Piek (Netherlands) and Dechapol Puavaranukro-Sapsiree Taerattanachai (Thailand) in the same group, aiming to advance to the tournament. The
Korean badminton team, led by coach Kim Hak-kyun, entered Paris determined to shake off the disappointment of not winning any gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics, 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Twelve representative players,
including world No. 1 women's singles An Se-young (Samsung Life), No. 5 men's doubles pair Seo Seung-jae-Kang Min-hyeok (Samsung Life), and No. 2 women's doubles pair Lee So-hee (Incheon International Airport)-Baek Ha-na (MG Saemaul Geumgo), are preparing for a golden smash.
Coach Kim, who stated that “our goal is the best performance in Olympic history,” expressed his determination at the time of his departure, saying, “The Olympics will be held in less than a year after the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games. I will work hard and do my best so that all fans will not be disappointed and we can enjoy a second glory.” 안전놀이터
