Before raising the association issue, he posted pictures of Ahn Se-young before and after the match, but after the controversy, he only posted graphic pictures.

Ahn Se-young defeated He Bingjiao (China) 2-0 (21-13, 21-16) in the women’s badminton singles final held at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena in Paris, France on the 5th. In badminton singles, it was a ‘brilliant success’ to give Korea a gold medal 28 years after Bang Bang-hyeon at the 1996 Atlanta Games.

However, the Badminton Association’s official Facebook page only posted a graphic showing Ahn Se-young defeating China in the final along with the caption, “Badminton Queen reaches top in Paris and end with a romantic ending. This differs from the photos posted earlier of Kim Won-ho (25, Samsung Life Insurance) and Jeong Na-eun (24, Hwasun County Office) winning silver medals in the mixed doubles.

Most of the comments were critical of society. Badminton fans said, “Why don’t you post a picture of Ahn Se-young? It’s terrible,” “The Korean Badminton Association is childish and stupid,” “It’s sad. What is an association?” ,” Who made a young player play with a lump on his knees?” “,” Let’s follow the example of the archery association,” and “Hang up a picture of the gold medal and express your position quickly,” pouring out ideas aimed at the association.

After winning the gold medal, Ahn Se-young strongly criticized the society as if she had made up her mind. In an interview conducted after the awards ceremony, he criticized the association, citing negligence in managing player injuries. At the same time, he also made a statement that it would not be difficult to join the national team again. After the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Korea Sports Council has also begun to investigate Ahn Se-young’s explosive comments, and the scandal is expected to continue.

Regarding this controversy, Kim Taek-gyu, president of the Korea Badminton Association, met with reporters after returning to Korea through Incheon International Airport that day and drew a line, saying, “No there was any conflict between me and the player, the association, and the player.” “I’ll look into that too. “Why did you say that?” he said.
