Ahn Se-young, a member of the national badminton team who won the gold medal in the singles at the 2024 Paris Olympics, is on her way back home through Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France on the 7th (Korean time).

2024 Paris Olympic badminton women's singles gold medalist Ahn Se-young (22) made another 'bombshell statement' on her way back home.

Ahn Se-young returned home with the national badminton team via Charles de Gaulle Airport in France at 4 am (Korean time) on the 7th. Ahn Se-young, who met with reporters at the airport before boarding the plane, said about her absence from the press conference on the 6th, "It's because (the association) told me to wait," and "The association instructed me to 'not say anything and wait,' but I didn't know how to respond."

The Korea Sports Council held a press conference for badminton medalists at Korea House in Paris on the afternoon of the 6th, but Ahn Se-young did not attend. The Korea Sports Council stated, "Ahn Se-young will not attend according to her own will." However, Ahn Se-young's clarification that her absence from the press conference was not her own will is expected to cause controversy once again.

On this day, only the mixed doubles silver medalists Kim Won-ho (Samsung Life Insurance) and Jeong Na-eun (Hwasun County Office) attended the press conference. Despite winning a valuable mixed doubles medal for the first time in 16 years, they had to endure the humiliation of being asked questions about Ahn Se-young instead of being congratulated.

Ahn Se-young said to Kim Won-ho and Jeong Na-eun, “I’m sorry that the players who should be congratulated are not. That was not my intention,” and added, “I need to discuss the details with the (legal) team. I will explain my position in Korea. Please wait a little bit. (The situation) is complicated. I will discuss everything when I go to Korea.”

Ahn Se-young previously won the gold medal in the women’s singles final at the Paris Olympics on the 5th, defeating He Bingzhao (27, China, 9th) 2-0 (21-13, 21-16). This is the first Olympic singles gold medal for a Korean player in 28 years since Bang Soo-hyun (52) at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

After the game, Ahn Se-young complained about the association, saying that she had been suffering from persistent knee pain since the injury she sustained at the Hangzhou Asian Games. After the awards ceremony, she repeatedly “sniped” the Korea Badminton Association in the mixed zone and at the press conference. At the press conference after her victory, Ahn Se-young said, “The injury (of my knee at the Asian Games last year) was more serious than I thought. However, I was very disappointed in the association for taking it too lightly.” She continued, “I can’t forget that moment (when I was disappointed in the association). I think that it will be difficult for me to continue with the national team after this moment.” She added, “As long as I can continue playing badminton, I can endure any situation,” and “I think it’s a bit mean to an athlete to say that I can’t play in the Olympics just because I’m on the national team. I think the association is blocking too many things.” Ahn Se-young also said, “I think it’s time to look back and see that (at this Olympics where the best results were expected) we only won one gold medal,” and added, “I hope that this gold medal will help badminton develop further. I hope badminton receives more love.” The Korea Badminton Association plans to hold an interview with Ahn Se-young and announce its position after the national team returns from Paris on the 7th. It is known that Ahn Se-young has been continuously expressing her dissatisfaction to the association since last year. An association official explained, “The association provided medical support, such as assigning Ahn a separate oriental doctor, but the athlete herself seems to have felt that it was not enough,” and “It is true that Ahn Se-young has continuously expressed her dissatisfaction with the national team’s activities. The association also went through the process of continuous interviews and mediation.” It is known that Ahn Se-young sent a statement containing her demands to the association in January of this year and also informed the association of her intention not to compete in this Olympics.
