according to korean media reports, south korean olympic champion an se-young was exposed to have been bullied for a long time and even had to wash the underwear for male athletes.
according to an investigation by the south korean parliament, an se-young had been bullied for a long time in the south korean team, doing odd jobs for the coach, seniors and senior teammates, and was subjected to verbal and physical violence. what was even more disgusting was that she had to wash the underwear of those older male players.
it's not just an se-young. there is a widespread trend of the old bullying the young in the korean badminton team, and the korean badminton association turns a blind eye and even protects the bullies.
currently, the south korean parliament's investigation into the korea badminton association is still ongoing. in addition to the bullying incident, officials of the korea badminton association are also suspected of colluding with sponsors for corruption and forcing players to choose sponsors.
the investigations all stemmed from an se-young's "withdrawal from the team" at the paris olympics. after winning the women's singles championship in paris, an se-young threatened the korean badminton association that she would withdraw from the team.

after south korean player an se-young, who won the women's singles badminton event at the paris olympics, publicly accused the korea badminton association (hereinafter referred to as kbfa) of having problems in athlete injury management and decision-making systems, the kbfa responded on the same day, according to yonhap news agency on august 7.
according to a previous report by yonhap news agency, an se-young mentioned the misdiagnosis in an interview with reporters, saying, "when i was injured, i was very disappointed with the national team. i can't forget that moment." "from the moment of the initial misdiagnosis, i have been playing with (pain). after another check-up at the end of last year, i found that the situation was very bad."

according to yonhap news agency on august 7, kim taek-kyu, president of the korean badminton association, responded on the same day, "there is no conflict between the association and an se-young. we will investigate the misdiagnosis (of the injury)."
according to reports, after an se-young was injured in the hangzhou asian games last year, she was still arranged by the association to continue participating in various competitions, but because her condition had not fully recovered, her performance fluctuated greatly. later, after a re-examination, it was found that it was not a simple injury. during this period, an se-young went through a very difficult period psychologically. in the process of preparing for the olympics, an se-young endured the physical pain. coach han xiujing's inability to appear on a big stage like the olympics seemed to have become the fuse for an se-young to bombard the national team system after winning the gold medal.
