    Seems this year he has completely dropped out of the picture. Has he retired?

    *Edit* I have just seen his name in the Indonesian Open entry. :eek:

    There has been plenty on this on Badzine this year. The BKA even put Yoo and Son on the lists for the Sudirman Cup but then didn't send them.

    I heard he was accused of sexual assault in the states and was released on bail, and he then returned to korea and further charges were pressed there. Not sure how true the accusations are or what happened

    Afaik the accuser was a korean woman, no mention of it being one of his students in whatever news I could find on it. It is currently being investigated by Korean authorities. Very saddening if it turns out to be true. He always came across as a good person

    I definitely need to hear the full story before making any judgments about him, if its true, im definitely really disappointed, top badminton player or not, to commit an actual crime against an innocent women is something that should be punished to the full extend of the law if true

    We need to hear two sides of a story. There are so many scams happening in the world. If it is genuinely true, strict measures need to be taken against the accused.
    Because, nowadays, many scams are happening. Young girls target big fish and they befriend them through social network, then after hanging out with them for months, one day they will complain of sexual assault in order to get money. Sometimes, they will try to "GO FOR OFF COURT SETTLEMENT". The man cannot prove it that it was mutual. I read it in news recently. Easy Money. Girls are more than willing to get it.
    If the YYS is really an offender, then he need to get punishment.
