Really looking forward to the first SSP event in 2013. I hope all players who entered are fit and we will see some great matches! Especially the MD event is very interesting!

Last years Finals day / winners:
(Lee Yong Dae missed two titles in MD and MX, the WD was lost, too. Let´s see if Korea can win a title on homesoil this year. If so the title will probably come from MD)

Last edition of Korea Open SS Premier and next year we will have MAS SSP as its replacement ;)
 
Hmmm....what happened to premier status of Korea SS ? They surely can search for more sponsors ??
 
Actually, there have been no major line call controversies since the Korean Open got the Premier status. The status change did coincide with the move to bringing in foreign line judges and this may have helped alleviate the problem.

In any case, the direct cause for the lack of Premier status from 2014 is not the past line call issues but rather the fact that they did not bid for one of the Premier tournaments in the fall and the decision not to bid surely had nothing to do with the fact that there were complaints about line calls 3 years ago.
 
Last update from ts.com that some players have withdrawn : Ajay Jayaram (IND), Taufik Hidayat (INA), Daren Liew (MAS), Sho Sasaki (JPN), Vivian Hoo Kah Mun/Woon Khe Wei (MAS).
 
Local hope Lee Dong-keun overcame his compatriot 2006 World Junior Champ Hong Ji-hoon in straight-sets, 21-11 / 21-17.
 
Chong Wei Feng vs Henri Hurskainen should be interesting.

Keep an eye for P Kashyap also.

Jorgensen vs Kenichi - battle of brute force.
