A Thrilling Comeback? "I Felt It Was Disappointing"

An Se-young has returned home after clinching back-to-back victories at the Singapore Open and the Indonesia Open with thrilling comeback performances.

While spectators were left exhilarated by the dramatic turn of events, An herself expressed regret that she was unable to take the lead from the start.

From the Singapore Open, where she staged a turnaround from the brink of defeat in the final game, to the Indonesia Open, where she overcame a 10-point deficit against rival Chen Yufei to reach the final and secure her second consecutive title.

Although her performance captivated the entire nation, An Se-young was not satisfied.

[Interview] An Se-young / National Badminton Team: "The fact that I was winning through comebacks means I wasn't leading the matches. There were some plays that I found disappointing."

An, who revealed that she struggled over the past two weeks due to local conditions such as the hot and humid climate, vowed to prepare even more perfectly for the Japan Open scheduled for the middle of next month.

[Interview] An Se-young / National Badminton Team: "It was quite difficult. I was worried because my physical condition hadn't fully recovered. I will continue to find ways to reduce my mistakes, and I plan to keep practicing with that focus."
