World No. 1 Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho won 2-0 (21-12, 21-3) in the men's doubles semifinals against Astroop-Rasmussen (world No. 5, Denmark) in Paris, France, early on the 31st (Korea time).
With this, Seo Seung-jae is on the verge of winning his second consecutive tournament. Seo Seung-jae won the men's doubles against Kang Min-hyuk in 2023.
It was a flawless victory in which Seo Seung-jae's rear position and Kim Won-ho's potential were perfectly harmonized. Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho, who succeeded in gaining the upper hand in the first game with a scoreless streak, easily secured one game.
In the second game, Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho continued to break down. As in the first game, the two scorers, who scored no runs in a row, did not give a chance to fight back, driving their opponents who had already been overwhelmed.
In particular, Seo Seung-jae played an active role by inducing errors instead of neutralizing the opponent's attack with a hustle defense that could be recorded as a famous scene. Kim Won-ho also neutralized his opponent with a threatening forward attack in net play.
Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho will play the final match on the night of the 31st.
Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho remained Korea's only hope, with Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) eliminated in the women's singles semifinals earlier.
