This year, 17-year-old badminton expectant Ahn Se-young won a gold medal in the French Open, defeating women's singles.
Se Young won the Spanish Badminton World Cup 750 French Open Women's Singles Final in Stade de Pierre Coubertin, Paris, France, defeating Spain's Carolina Marine 2-1.
Se-young Ahn won the fourth championship this year and crossed the Korean badminton table to become the world's single badminton singles champion.
Ahn Se-young, who debuted at the Senior International Stage last year when he was a freshman in high school, won the French Open following the New Zealand Open, Canadian Open and Akita Masters.
Ahn Se-young's current world ranking of 99 this year is 16th.
The final opponent, Marine, was the first non-Asian to win the women's singles gold medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics.
The world ranking fell to 17th place due to a period of injuries that were injured, but it was revived last month after winning the China Open.
Ahn Se-young played 11-11 in one game and allowed Marines to score in a row.
However, in the second game, they scored five points from 15-15 and returned to the starting point.
In the 3rd game, he made a big gap from 2-2 to 20-3, completely outlining the marine and standing at the top.
Whenever Marine scored, Ahn Seong-young wasn't excited.
On the contrary, they conquered with a louder voice.
Ahn Se-young defeated the eighth-ranked Nevawal (India) 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the tournament, and defeated Yamaguchi Akane, the world's second-placed Japan, 2-0 in the quarter-finals.
The French Open is an advanced tournament among the BWF World Tours, with many points required for the Tokyo Olympics.
The French Open is the highest ranked tournament among Ahn Se-young.
When Ahn Young won the French Open, the local tribunal praised the "Star is born."
