1. Ha TaeKwon is still playing. And the surprise is he will play with Kim DM at Sudirman Cup in Peking. It is planned to get RA KYUNGMIN ;) into the national squad only for the Sudirman Cup to defend the title. Ha is now a playing coach.

2. Jung Jaesung (left) / Lee Jaejin (right) are the new hope in the Korean MD after their victory over Kim DM/Ha TK at the National Championships. Lee Jaejin could be the next Kim DM.

3. Jun Jaeyoun is now mature and looks like a woman, not anymore like a girl. But she had difficulties to defeat her compatriot Hwang Hyeyeon in the first round. She is a good cook!:D

4. Hwang Jiman (left) / Lee Yongdae (right) defeated Sang Yang/Zheng Bo. I saw Zheng's right arm which is twice thick as his left one. What a powerful smash! But the match showed once again that a sensible strategy and good cooperation are more important.

5. Lee Hyojung (left) / Lee Kyungwon (right) are alwayse in a good mood. They are now the oldest among the female players.

HEY!!! I think Hwang Jiman is the Korean doubles player who participated in the 2003 Canadian Open, here in Vancouver a couple years ago.

That guy is [size=+2]AWESOME!!![/SIZE]

LOL, then you didnt focus your camera correctly :p (J/K)
I'm lost. How would the focus affect whether Pullela Gopichand sat with his compatriots or whether they might have happened to be in the background of a photo of Korean players?

I've noticed that some of the younger Korean girls seem to have harder smashes than their older compatriots. I'm talking of Hwang Hye-yeon, Lee Yun-hwa and Joo Hyun-hee, primarily. Since none of the girls seem to be capable of jump smashes, the height of Lee Hyo-jung, Ra Kyung-min and Kim Mi-young (young) put them into a different category. As all of these girls are just as fleet of foot as anyone around and seem to lack only experience, I am optimistic about the future Korean women competitors' chances at the top levels.
