an seyoung expressing disappointment toward bka "i've been very disappointed with the national team especially during times when i was injured, i can't forget those moments. while i want to continue playing badminton for the development of the sport and to achieve my own records, i'm not sure as what the association will do. but as long as i can keep playing badminton, i feel like i can endure any situation." "first of all, while i was preparing, i always thought that the olympics were a tournament full of unexpected events. so, i considered and prepared for every possible variable, no matter how small. that's one of the reasons why i kept playing without getting any rest despite my injuries. i wanted to be ready for any unexpected variable, so i didn't skip a single day of training, even practicing early in the morning, i wanted to be prepared for anything. my method might have been wrong, but i think this was a chance to prove myself so... i feel good (that it's proven). also about the athletes not being able to compete in the olympics just because they're leaving the national team... i think it's a bit heartless for the them. i think in badminton, singles and doubles are completely different, and i believe that athlete's injuries or any other qualifications shouldn't lead to them being deprived of their right to compete. however it seems to me that our association is blocking everything. it feels like they're forcing many restrictions under the guise of freedom. i do think badminton could achieve more progress, but the fact that we only won one gold medal is something worth reflecting on."
