At least a silver medal was secured at the Korean Shuttlecock Women's Doubles Korea Open.
Lee So-hee, Baek Ha-na, and Kim Hye-jung and Gong Hee-yong, the two major women's doubles teams, passed the quarterfinals of the '2025 Victor Korea Open (Super500)" women's doubles at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium on the 26th.
It is a pleasant advance to the semifinals together, but the two groups will have a 'home showdown' in the semifinals on the 27th.
Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na, ranked seventh in the world, beat Taiwan's She Fei Shan-Hong Ng Tzu (ranked 11th in the world) 2-0 (21-17, 21-17) in the game.
It was an exquisite division of roles. In the first game, Baek Ha-na made a last-minute effort to gain the upper hand, while in the second game, Lee So-hee led the victory by overwhelming the opponent from the beginning with her tall physique.
Kim Hye-jung and Gong Hee-yong, the world's fourth-ranked players who started the game earlier, swept their hearts with a 2-1 (21-16, 15-21, 21-19) victory over the virtually unknown Louis Hirokami-Sayaka Hobara of Japan after a one-minute and 29-minute full game.
Kim Hye-jung and Gong Hee-yong are leading the two groups in the semifinals with three wins.
