well basically i am not kpop mania i only concentrate on 5 people. lee yong dae,born at Jeollanam-do,Hwasun-gun data from wiki. so it match what i speculate side note:Jeollanam-do is from Jeonnam province
i think thats the side effect of thunder/lightning. will korea repeat the feat by winning all title like last year?
Me too, when I read for the first time Last year edition, the venue's name was still Hwasun Indoor Stadium. Don't forget to add Park Joo-bong/Kim Moon Soo, all of them are Olympic Champs
Hwasun is indeed Lee Yong Dae's hometown. No other Olympic badminton gold medallist was born there. This year's venue is on the same complex as last year's, about 200m away. They just finished building it in the last few months. The concurrent junior tournament is being held in the old venue.
