AnSe-young

An Se-young competes in women's singles, the solo badminton discipline where court coverage, deception and precise placement decide points. A right-hander, she works under coach Lee Hyun-il. Singles badminton rewards reading an opponent's movement, varying pace and choosing when to attack. Unlike doubles, it leaves no partner to cover space, so every rally tests footwork and shot selection on court.

She sits at number one in the BWF rankings. Her career record stands at 432 wins and 75 losses, and she continues to represent South Korea in women's singles under coach Lee Hyun-il. The ranking reflects a sustained run at the top of the women's singles game. That consistency has kept her ahead of the field.
