"Something for the Unnis to tease me about now, lol"... Reporter's question that made An Se-young burst into laughter

Women's singles world number one An Se-young secured a dominant 2-0 (21-6, 21-8) victory in just 39 minutes against 38th-ranked Kaloyana Nalbantova of Bulgaria in the round of 32 at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 500 Korea Open, held today (the 4th) at Jinnam Gymnasium in Yeosu, Jeollanam-do.

An revealed that she had debated until the very last moment whether to compete due to her packed schedule and concerns over her physical condition, but ultimately stepped onto the court because she wanted to hear the cheers of her domestic fans.

She also broke into a smile and gave a witty response after hearing about the praise from her "rival" Akane Yamaguchi.

Sports Mug brings you An Se-young's post-match interview.
