An Se-young returned from injury after about a month and won the women's singles 64th round match at the World Badminton Championships against Bulgaria's Kaloyana Nalbantova with a score of 2-0, advancing to the round of 32. After giving up the championship due to left foot pain at last month's Japan Open, An Se-young focused on rehabilitation and quickly regained her sense of actual combat, dominating the match. Through this tournament, An Se-young aims to return to the top for the first time in three years since winning the 2023 Copenhagen World Championships. In addition, Kim Ga-eun also achieved an overwhelming victory against Nour Ahmed Yousri of Egypt and advanced to the round of 32.
