In women’s doubles, Kim So Yeong / Kong Hee Yong will meet Kim Hye Rin / Baek Ha Na. In the men’s doubles match, Lee Yong Dae / Kim Gi Jung will face off Yoo Yeon Seong / Choi Solgyu.
Is he still playing? I think he is but i never really see him in international ?
I swear i saw his name in the korean open! Maybe I’m wrong He is long retired and only features in Yonex campaigns for Legend vision.
You're not wrong. It's true that he did retire from international badminton in 2016 but he played international tournaments in Korea in 2017 and then when the BKA changed its rules in 2018, he started playing quite consistently in international tournaments with Kim Gi Jung. They won the Malaysia Masters two years ago and only played a couple of international matches in 2021. He's slated to play with a young partner from his Yonex domestic pro team at both the Korea Open and the Korea Masters.I swear i saw his name in the korean open! Maybe I’m wrong ![]()
Ah ok so he is kinda playing but not like super active in 2021/2022? I mean he skipped all the Bali stuff last year, world champ, all England this year. Things that he had won before.You're not wrong.

That's right. Keep in mind that Kim Gi Jung has been playing with Kim Sa Rang since late last year and so that leaves both players using notional rankings, making Bali impossible. For Korea, Lee and Kim Jae Hyeon's notional ranking total was not even 16,000 so they would not have been even among the first 25 on the All England reserve list. They couldn't even have played the German Open.Ah ok so he is kinda playing but not like super active in 2021/2022? I mean he skipped all the Bali stuff last year, world champ, all England this year.

Might explain why his smash seemed beefier than usualLee Yong Dae using 88D pro
