According to recent reports, not only was An Se Young made to do odd jobs for her coach, senior players, and teammates while suffering verbal and physical abuse, but she was even forced to wash the underwear of male players! It’s absolutely outrageous🤬, but sadly, this is just the tip of the iceberg in Korea. Let's hope they finally take these issues seriously!
great video, but we need the follow up: do the assosiation (nation and intenational) make a statement or response? do we have statement from her persoal trainer? what are public reaction? does her got some kind of threat or something? does she has next tournament that she could participate? so we can monitor and see the association move / threatment to her? what’s next for her?
@@izsan9070, this is not a Korean culture. It is the control and restrictive rules of the Korean Badminton Association hidden deep inside and disguised as Korean culture. 😢
@@HeresMyView This is not just Korean culture. Most conservative/traditional cultures are like this. Being oppressive and abusive towards younger people by older people are seen as character building and educational which is just sickening.
So she was playing through a knee injury, she didn't have a coach/physio or the equipment of her choice and yet she won gold in the Olympics?? Someone help her to switch nationality, it'd be criminal if she's banned from competing.
@@eth4n470 he’s saying that the country wouldn’t let her. Mean she is Ban like what leeziijia faced last time. But thanks to the whole badminton world who backed him up and the country felt pressured so they decided to unban him. I suggested ASY can do the same.
The toxic behaviour is not tradition, its a form of bullying. This is not just in badminton this behaviour is widespread from sports to corporation offices.
You did an excellent job! You used simple animation to clearly explain what happened. This video should be widely shared. Thank you for your hard work!❤❤
She has won World Championship, All England, Uber Cup, Asian Games, World Tour Finals, multiple Super Series but feels the need to wait until winning an Olympic Medal before speaking up. This is saddening not only for athletes everywhere but for the fans of the sport.
@@MustAfaalik She represents Korea in all these competition, not herself. The country gets the cut from the winning prize. Badminton is different from sports like Tennis where the players represent themselves and have their own agents.
As a Korean, im just so ducking disappointed in how they manafe their health and success of their players These players like ASY are the future of badminton, and they should be doing everything in their power to make the most successful career for them
The willingness to take in foreign players is something important to consider. For WS, only China is consistently strong and they certainly wouldn't take her in. Just come to Singapore, she will be welcomed with open arms and lots of incentives. She made it despite being disadvantaged by the Korean association, she certainly wouldn't do worse in another country that supports her.
In this video, the narrator mentioned PV Sindhu gets higher sponsorship, even though she is not performing well lately. So I think Se young could represent India. The Indians will worship like a goddess.😊
I don't think she wants to jump ship to another country per se. What she meant by 'leaving the national team' is to leave the S.Korea association training setup and compete as an independent player while STILL representing S.Korea in tournaments. But at her current status she's not allowed to, and that's why she's taking issue.
It’s really for thè Badminton Players of Korea without any single Won ỉn return The sponsorship is zero (0) while others sports had much of sponsorship received An Se young come to the Philippines Our country will give you more benefits from head to toe and not only that They will give A beautiful shelter,Food,’more sponsorships from different company’s and bank accounts so the Philippines Government will give you a good salary ❤😢😢😢
Despite all of these she have endured, she still able to achieve these much at such a young age is incredible. I hope she go independent and have her own team that appreciates and love her.
i seriously never liked AnSeYoung, for reasons even I, myself dont know or understand, I try to contemplate about it, and one reason is because of her gamestyle ( which i initially thought to be boring) but i slowly realised how brilliant her game style actually is. Now, after hearing her stories about her very own national team; i can finally say that i completely support this young legend. Her sentiments are so valid and i could not help but to feel sorry and frustrated for her situation. i hope that this will change the way they run the korean national team- this is indeed toxic to their players.
An Se Young is so brave for speaking up. Unfortunately, many country national team always had dark side. Lee Zii Jia from Malaysia also left malaysia national team (BAM) Badminton Association of Malaysia due to overpowered by national team. Is so much pressure for Lee Zii Jia as well. Although, he's independent player, yet still won for Malaysia. Is tough because he's been ban for over 2 years before participate in international team. Same with An Se Yonung, she's definitely the best single player in Korea. Hopefully, things will get better. She's so humble, disciplined and strong. Is really unfortunate Korea society are always rigid and homogenous. On top of that, toxic senior junior unfair treatment too.
Waa bravo ASY for the courage to tell the truth. Really didnt expect for such a developed country to have a very bad sports association. Wish ASY all the best. She is such a good and talented player..
Yeah this is very brave of ASY to speak out in a public space about the treatment she received in the national team. I hope things will change in the future
Already a champion in the court and now champion to all the young players whom she saved all the toxic practises by opening up to the media. Keep shining 🙌🏻👏🏻
My heart goes out to you and all other players of Korea. I hope that your association now make reflection of themselves and enable fair environment where players feel nurtured, cared and supported throughout their life.
I remember the beginning when this controversy first came out after she won Olympics gold medal, Korean badminton association give their statement that they already doing their best to treat her injuries but she's not gonna get Yuna Kim treatment. I knew immediately there something wrong with this Association, and i have strong feelings that maybe she's actually telling the truth. Why Korean Badminton Association have to mention other sports athlete when they have to focus on their own sports. Why they have to compare her to Yuna Kim when she brings honour to Korean Badminton. Right now An Se Young is the queen of this sport not just for Korea but also to the world. They should be proud of her achievement. Instead do the best they can to keep their best athletes in top condition, they do despicable things to her.
What the heck was that exercise, where the players have to crawl underneath between the coach’s legs?!! What does that have to do with badminton?!! Good for An Se Young to speak out about how South Korea Badminton Association does not care about her health and well being!!
Korean Badminton Association is DISGUSTING, I really respect ASY for speaking out about these issues and leaving the badminton association, Why can't BWF intervene in matters like these and set a bunch of flexible rules( applicable for all badminton players around the world who play for BWF tournaments and the Olympics) which are beneficial for the players????
because these countries associations are the ones hosting badminton opens. BWF can't be around organizing every single tournament week in and week out. if BWF takes over organizing, badminton tournaments would be months apart. The current system works fine, corruption is the problem that needs solving.
They exposed this in the Netflix series racket boys too. One of the scenes showed how seniors would bully others. Such a sad old style tradition they have she should just move to another country I'm sure anyone would love a gold medalist😂
Bravo to her for exposing it! 👏🏽👏🏽 If she wants to, I am sure she can move to another country that is willing to work with her (on her terms). She has achieved so many great things within 4 years of her careers
So many dark side in korea..the entertaiment side, the sports side, and even the education and welfare side (i am talking this based on the drama koreans produced base on true story)
Horrific abuse by the KBA to their country's top player. Well done, An Se Young, for having the courage to speak out and informing the world of these archaic injustices. Hopefully, it will produce some changes.
She cannot wait another five years. That rule is beyond cruel. She should immigrate. She can always come back after her career is done but right now she immigrate. Assuming she is allowed.
I think ASY should go to a country that would appreciate her more, I'm not surprised with the national team behaviour, toxic junior-senior culture is common amongst East Asian countries (terrible in Japan and Korea), individual merit and reward are frowned upon. the national team have their own agenda.
The National Team and its culture are unlikely going to change bigtime overnight. When things die down and the media attention fades, they will ignore you and KBA goes back to usual. If I may suggest, you should seriously consider playing for another country that recognize your talent and willing to listen and support you. Don't wait too long as the age window is short in high performance sport. If serious about doing it, write it in here and you will be contacted. Thank You.
It's good that she spoke up. She should play for another country and make big money, while she can, because once she stops, she will be forgotten The washing of men's clothes happens in the work force too. Mainly in the office. The tradition is humiliating and disrespectful to young women. Tradition is fine unless it humiliates and degrades people. Then its just straight out bullying.
Her mismanagement by the association is so obvious and apparent. The match commentators have consistently wondered why she is playing tournaments with heavy strapping on her knee time and again. The only outrage is that she only voiced it out now...
Finally the truth is out, just like those k drama, hope the IBF will change their stupid rules, just like tennis, national team just like in malaysia finally relent after so much bad news about their restriction
Here, we have the same issue with Malaysia's BAM. There are too many political appointment in the board members. Even talented kids hard to get in bam, need to pay money to coaches etc to put their name in. That's why alot of younger gen are from well enough wealth players. For the poor one, need to be extra. And see one race got more privillage in BAM due to alot of coaches who are the one selecting the youngster only see and care or got paid by their own race too. Maybe... Hurmmm
The World Single Badminton Champion has more than courage by simply telling the truth and hopefully, change is coming for equality to new and old players. I would say those retired Korean Players should make a truthful statement for the benefit of the public.
Thank you...! Please encourage other platform to spread this An Se Young statements...she needs to be protected...moreover, Korean badminton players needs to be protected! The Korean Badminton Association is functioning like capitalist in the badminton world...players looks like slaves...this needs to change...let this scandal arise more and more...
Washing senior clothes are same in Malaysia badminton, but that was just collect and dump in washing machine, not hand washing , male junior was told to do car wash for senior too😂
An is a very tough player, she finished the great achievement of Korean Badminton History ! Now she challenged the corruption of Korean Badminton Association. Let's support her . God Bless You !
if korea blocks her, she should move to another country.. any country will offer her passport in a heartbeat considering her achievements .. but ofc it will be even better if she can continue with South Korea and they fixed the issues
Same thing as happening in the KFA. The only what seems to be a healthy sports association from the outside in Korea would be the Korean Archery Association.
Shes very strong and enduring..A great example for those who never workhard and give up easily.. shes amazing to win a gold for korea nation..At 22 only we hope can see her more high achievement until 30+-...加油加油❤ In this society we have dislike,prejudice,discriminate etc, just learn to be more fairness especially to your own race kind.
If traditions is blocking the way for progress then it should no longer be practiced. As time moves forward everything that cannot keep up with time should stay out of the era.
The Korea Open was once one of the competitions with the highest prize money, but now the level is only Super 500. This proves that badminton is not developing there. Is this because of their Association?
It's more like she expose the whole Korean bad seniority culture. Because I'm pretty sure what happened to her is also happened in other fields of work too. Of course not every seniors is like that but there are a lot of seniors that is like that.
So sorry for her, thought that they will be supporting well atleast for their same nationality. This is not fair , dairty managements should end for the players to grow.
All, Please understand. It is not just Korea that restrict many things under the guise of Freedom . All country does. Its just those who is brave enough to face the consequences steps out to tell you their Tales .
That's a fairly good point to a certain extent, but what you dont understand is the fact that none of the other countries put up a similar level of restrictions that they put on so many things within their rules and regulations under the guise of freedom like South Korea, specifically the KBA. That's what you clearly trying to dismiss, like oh it's the same in every countries, the same rules and restrictions applied everywhere else, when in fact you're lack of concern speaks a lot about your lack of empathy, the tone of ignorance, and your zero support towards the issue. You're lucky enough to have never had the experience of becoming a professional badminton player from Korea like her, as you can only speak for yourself based on your own point of view without the motivation to be an Olympic champion like ASY for what she has been going through before she finally speaks up. Get a life and later on once you finally get to experience something really difficult in real life, then perhaps you will understand what ASY tried to address publicly after facing tough moments and earned your own voice to speak up based on your own hardship and experience eventhough I 100 percent doubt that it will involve you winning an Olympic gold medal in real life.
@nyipatingang99 So you can only offer empathy at your best. You can't even help her. You're not even planning to help her, That's as far as anyone can go. Offer condolences and move on with their life. You talk about Empathy and emotional supports yet you have no Solutions for any of these. Its part of the reason why I said ALL COUNTRIES Have similar problems. Not An Se Young, Not S.Korea only. But All, And everyone have no solutions for this. Right now, you just wanted to win. So I give you a win. This is my last reply. Goodbye. Stranger.
During the recent DK open 750 event, it was clear (to me anyway) she is still not moving comfortably/confidently -- if it's true a tear in her patella tendon is the injury, then it appears it did not heal fully before she resumed playing -- whether or not surgery (generally not needed for a small tear) is necessary is something for specialist to decide
Washing male underwear? This is ridiculous… I’m so glad an is able to come out and express this but this is due to her strong will and ability to achieve gold and win si many tournaments even while injured.
According to recent reports, not only was An Se Young made to do odd jobs for her coach, senior players, and teammates while suffering verbal and physical abuse, but she was even forced to wash the underwear of male players!
It’s absolutely outrageous🤬, but sadly, this is just the tip of the iceberg in Korea. Let's hope they finally take these issues seriously!

Singapore will take her almost pack and go. Malaysia is also desperate for a good single player with plenty of sponsors lining up.
You better believe us Malaysians would take her in a heartbeat!

it’s also those sad history that made her strong, ASY truly a fighter, hope she gets the treatment she deserves
In Saudi Arabia for exemple ? Or in Pakistan ?
she just need to migrate to uae...she will be treated way better there than in korea @Badmintonforall

don't think he was banned, it was retracted almost immediately according to the news. That's excuses Malaysians make on his poor performance.
LZJ is weak and have low talent, but his hype is too high, so malaysian used "banned" as excuse. Stop spreading fake news.
tang mana kena ban natang
Telling the truth won't get you invited into variety shows even with olympic gold. Says much about Korea as a society.
Definitely a good example to others to learn to speak up and not be afraid of the bullies. Hopefully there can be change 🙏
Waa bravo ASY for the courage to tell the truth. Really didnt expect for such a developed country to have a very bad sports association. Wish ASY all the best. She is such a good and talented player..

Power to An-Se young for speaking up!! Toxic patriarchy within the system should be uprooted with interest! It takes a queen to do that!
Washing senior clothes are same in Malaysia badminton, but that was just collect and dump in washing machine, not hand washing , male junior was told to do car wash for senior too😂
Such hardship at the very young age is so disheartening and it shouldn't happen in the first place 😡
An is a very tough player, she finished the great achievement of Korean Badminton History ! Now she challenged the corruption of Korean Badminton Association. Let's support her . God Bless You !
This vedio should gi viral
Hope this gets more attention
Thats why more and more player left their own badminton association and became free agent
On the video around minute 2:17 she injected her knee with something, anybody know what that was?
Don’t think she can be controlled to not able to play internationally. Sports associations are just clubs.
Shame on this！no one should be treated like this. No matter who you are ！
if korea blocks her, she should move to another country.. any country will offer her passport in a heartbeat considering her achievements ..
but ofc it will be even better if she can continue with South Korea and they fixed the issues

Sacked all the Politician and employed all those Ex professional players.
It's more like she expose the whole Korean bad seniority culture. Because I'm pretty sure what happened to her is also happened in other fields of work too. Of course not every seniors is like that but there are a lot of seniors that is like that.

Well what I know after she exposed the truth, she get more bullies... No action has been taken

That's a fairly good point to a certain extent, but what you dont understand is the fact that none of the other countries put up a similar level of restrictions that they put on so many things within their rules and regulations under the guise of freedom like South Korea, specifically the KBA. That's what you clearly trying to dismiss, like oh it's the same in every countries, the same rules and restrictions applied everywhere else, when in fact you're lack of concern speaks a lot about your lack of empathy, the tone of ignorance, and your zero support towards the issue. You're lucky enough to have never had the experience of becoming a professional badminton player from Korea like her, as you can only speak for yourself based on your own point of view without the motivation to be an Olympic champion like ASY for what she has been going through before she finally speaks up. Get a life and later on once you finally get to experience something really difficult in real life, then perhaps you will understand what ASY tried to address publicly after facing tough moments and earned your own voice to speak up based on your own hardship and experience eventhough I 100 percent doubt that it will involve you winning an Olympic gold medal in real life.
@nyipatingang99 So you can only offer empathy at your best. You can't even help her. You're not even planning to help her, That's as far as anyone can go. Offer condolences and move on with their life. You talk about Empathy and emotional supports yet you have no Solutions for any of these. Its part of the reason why I said ALL COUNTRIES Have similar problems. Not An Se Young, Not S.Korea only. But All, And everyone have no solutions for this. Right now, you just wanted to win. So I give you a win. This is my last reply. Goodbye. Stranger.
it is not just sports... it s practically everything in korea... nothing is ever being about a team... it s all about beating everyone else...
Brave ASY🏸 fighting for herself and others…. Just think of sẹo and his singles career that was given up for doubles
Athletes in Korea need to rally behind her.
Those abusive practices has to stop.
During the recent DK open 750 event, it was clear (to me anyway) she is still not moving comfortably/confidently -- if it's true a tear in her patella tendon is the injury, then it appears it did not heal fully before she resumed playing -- whether or not surgery (generally not needed for a small tear) is necessary is something for specialist to decide
Washing male underwear? This is ridiculous… I’m so glad an is able to come out and express this but this is due to her strong will and ability to achieve gold and win si many tournaments even while injured.
