[Saba Sports News] Badminton world No. 1, the South Korean star An Se-young, confirmed on January 29 through her personal social media that she received a coffee cart gift from her fans. In the shared photos, An Se-young stands beside a banner featuring playful slogans such as ‘An Se-young Effect: Irregular heartbeat, excessive secretion of fan love, and a determination to never give up,’ striking a playful pose with a bright smile.
In her tweet, An Se-young expressed her gratitude, saying that even before her birthday, she feels blessed to receive such a large outpouring of love. She promised not to forget the support contained in every cup of coffee gifted by her fans and vowed to repay them with good performances.
While An Se-young displayed a cheerful expression in response to her fans’ affection, her right knee in the photos brought a somber note. Dressed in a black down jacket, she had a thick ice pack bandage wrapped around her right knee. It turns out that An Se-young has been competing since early January, and due to her significant physical exertion, she has been experiencing discomfort in her knee and needs ice therapy to alleviate the pain. After winning the Malaysian Open in her first tournament of the year, An Se-young did not rest and immediately participated in the Indian Open, having secured two championship trophies so far. She will next compete in the 2026 Asia Mixed Team Badminton Championships, starting on February 3 in Qingdao, China, and is currently preparing actively.
