As the Korea Badminton Association begins an investigation into the comments made by 2024 Paris Olympics women’s singles gold medalist Ahn Se-young (22, Samsung Life Insurance), the subject of the controversy, Ahn Se-young will not attend the first meeting.
The Badminton Association announced on the 16th, “We will not be interviewing Ahn Se-young today, and will first be interviewing the national team coaches.”
Previously, after winning the women’s singles badminton event at the Paris Olympics, Ahn Se-young expressed her desire to leave the national team, voicing her dissatisfaction with the Korea Badminton Association’s injury management and outdated training methods.
Since then, the Badminton Association has been actively refuting Ahn Se-young’s opinions, and the situation is developing into a ‘war of truth’ between the two sides.
Accordingly, the association decided to hold its own fact-finding committee on the 16th. The fact-finding committee, consisting of five members including two lawyers, a professor, the association’s human rights committee chairman, and an auditor, plans to investigate the injury management of national athletes, the international competition participation system, the training system, and management regulations.
An Se-young’s attendance at the first official meeting convened in relation to the so-called ‘An Se-young incident’ was important, and the investigation committee plans to first call in the coach instead of the player to hear his opinion.
An Se-young’s schedule of attendance has not been decided yet.
Furthermore, the meeting on this day will be held completely in private. The contents of the meeting, as well as the time, location, and even the movements of the investigators, will not be disclosed at all.
An association official said, “The fact-finding committee meeting held today will be held completely privately, including the time and location, at the request of the external investigators and those making statements.”
Meanwhile, Ahn Se-young will not be participating in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 750 Japan Open (20th-25th) and Super 500 Korea Open (August 27th-September 1st) scheduled for this month.
The apparent reason is knee and ankle injuries, but it can also be interpreted that he is feeling burdened about joining the national team due to his conflict with the association.
