A Thrilling Comeback? "I Felt Regretful"

An Se-young has returned home after clinching back-to-back victories at the Singapore Open and the Indonesia Open with thrilling comeback performances.

While the matches were a dopamine rush for spectators, An herself expressed regret that she was unable to take the lead from the start.

From the Singapore Open, where she staged a dramatic turnaround at the edge of defeat in the final game, to the Indonesia Open, where she overcame a 10-point deficit against her rival Chen Yufei to reach the final and secure her second consecutive title.

Although her performance thrilled the entire nation, An Se-young was not satisfied.

[Interview: An Se-young / National Badminton Team] "The fact that I had to stage a comeback means I wasn't leading the matches. There were some plays that I found regrettable."

An, who revealed that she struggled over the past two weeks due to local conditions such as the hot and humid climate, vowed to prepare even more perfectly for the Japan Open in the middle of next month.

[Interview: An Se-young / National Badminton Team] "It was quite difficult. I was worried because my physical condition wasn't fully up to par. I will continue to find ways to reduce my mistakes, and I plan to keep practicing with that focus."
