    I hope so, would love to see them win this.

    Chia/Soh have not been too convincing in their last few matches, good chances for Ko/Shin to beat them and advance to the finals.

    I agree with this. Their Mens' departments are struggling really badly. The ranking gap between Seo/Choi and their juniors Kim Won Ho / Kang Min Hyuk is too wide.

    Good game by Ko/Shin today.

    The next match against the minions tomorrow will be tough.
    I don't see the Koreans matching their speed and they have not been very solid in their defense today, so it will be interesting to see which strategy they try to use tomorrow.

    I thought jeon hyuk jin was back. Why is he not playing in Indonesia masters/open etc? He needs to play to improve his rankings

    Is there a reason for that? Shouldn’t he prioritize the super 1000 like indonesia open to move his rankings back up?

    Did Korea Air sponsor for Korea players ???

    like ANA for Japan and Eva Air for Tai Tzu Ying.

    In Vietnam, we have many talents who can win a small tournament in international tours, but the winning prize cannot cover accommodation cost. That is the problem for Vietnamese who wants to take part in international tours.

    This is what i gathered after reading google translated articles, some details are blurry so feel free to add to it if you know more:
    1. Choi arrived late for training at the Korea open after staying up drinking the night before. He also brought his girlfriend to the sleeping dorm for the tournament. He was not playing at the tournament himself since Kim Won Ho was injured.
    2. BKA decided to suspend him for 2(!) years from tournaments, but allowed him to play Asia championships which he proceeded to get a silver medal in.
    3. He appealed the suspension, arguing that 2 years is too harsh of a punishment and something about Choi intending to retire anyway.
    4. I think BKA withdrew the suspension, but are now in some kind of a pickle since Choi never submitted the resignation letter

    Just attended a junior tournament in Thailand.

    The Koreans sent a large contingent.

    The quality of their players was impressive. The players are all very physically strong. Just in case you’re wondering, there were no China entries and not many Indonesian entries
