[Saba Sports News] South Korean badminton player Seo Seung Jae announced through social media that he is about to become a father, joining the ranks of badminton world champions who are new dads, following Loh Kean Yew and Jonatan Christie, which has attracted strong attention from fans. In the photo, Seo Seung Jae is seen hugging his wife from behind, holding a pregnancy test, while his wife’s baby bump is already quite noticeable. She is holding up a baby ultrasound photo, creating a heartwarming scene that has prompted fans to leave comments and likes. Seo Seung Jae, who just celebrated his 27th birthday last month, is a doubles badminton player. As a left-handed player, he is highly competitive in both men’s doubles and mixed doubles, being the most outstanding doubles player in the last Olympic cycle. At last year’s Badminton World Championships, Seo partnered with Chae YuJung in the mixed doubles final, defeating Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong; in the men’s doubles final, he teamed up with Kang Minhyuk to beat Denmark’s Astrup Kim/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, achieving a double crown. Seo Seung Jae has reached a highest world ranking of second in both men’s doubles and mixed doubles. Unfortunately, at this year’s Paris Olympics, he was unable to replicate his strong performance from the previous year’s World Championships.
