Chae Yu Jung, who with Seo Seung Jae became the first Koreans in two decades to win the mixed doubles world title, says their success was due to their attitude of working hard without making a fuss about it.
“If you keep working hard, it will eventually produce rewards,” said Chae. “You might not get good results in the beginning, but success is bound to come if you keep working hard and preparing silently.”
The Koreans had a standout season, finishing as the third-highest pair in the HSBC Race to Finals with exactly 100,000 points, behind Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping and Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong. They will be one of the favourites for the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2023.
