An Se-young has returned home after back-to-back victories at the Denmark and France Opens.

Hinting that she may skip next week's Korea Open, she stated that she needs time to treat her injuries and recover.

Returning home without a moment to savor the afterglow of her 10th title of the season and her milestone of 50 consecutive wins, An still beams with pride when recalling the crown celebration she made with her ten fingers after securing her win at the French Open.

However, after a grueling schedule lasting over a month—spanning the Asian Games, the Denmark Open, and the French Open—her fatigue and physical pain were clearly visible.

[An Se-young / National Badminton Team: I think the pain in my knee was flaring up more than I expected, so I had to wear a lot of tape and take some medication.]

An plans to head to Yeosu first to check her physical condition before deciding whether to participate in next week's Korea Open.
