The Korean, whose last title was the Korea Masters in December 2016, bested her rival in just 34 minutes, 21-11 21-9.
It had been a tough week for Sung, as she was taken to three games by Ayumi Mine in the second round and by Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in the quarterfinals, which she came through narrowly, 7-21 21-13 21-19.
However, from then on she hit cruise mode, getting the better of her younger compatriot An Se Young, 21-19 21-15 in the semifinals, and Michelle Li in the final in relatively easy fashion.
