Correct!

I once saw Ra KM drilling other female players.
That was awesome and DECISIVE!

I think Ra KM will rule if they get married.
By the way, they will receive together a monthly payment of 2000 US$ from the Korean Sports Association for life.
This payment is a reduced level, otherwise more that 5000 US $ for whole life. Unfortunately, the KSA introduced a limit after some archers managed to receive a monthly payment over 4000 US$.

I can't thinking that if he's there to learn English, he'll have a heck of a time finding a place where he's needed as a coach and where he can avoid the temptation to be in the company of Korean speakers outside of classes. Badminton should help with that, though. I am sure no training centres are dominated by Korean-speaking Canadians.

. We are a bunch of English speaking Asian guys and gals here

Getting Married in Korea is real Expensive.

Here are some more pictures of 24 singing and dancing badminton players. Among the songs they sang and danced there was an OST of a Korean film called "Please Send Me A Woman".
