The Badminton Korea Association has taken a proactive stance by launching an official investigation in response to allegations made by gold medalist Ahn Se-young.

The association, which had remained silent in the immediate aftermath of the Paris Olympic Games, announced on Thursday that a special fact-finding committee had been formed to look into the matter.

This committee, which will begin its work in closed-door sessions on Friday, comes amid increasing pressure from the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism.

The fact-finding committee consists of five members, including two external lawyers, a university professor, and two 스포츠 internal representatives—Lee Sang-soon, the head of the association’s Human Rights Committee for athletes, and Park Gye-ok, the auditor of the association.

Their investigation will cover key aspects of the national team’s operations, such as injury management, international competition participation, training systems, and management regulations.

The committee’s goal is to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies for the continued growth and success of badminton in Korea.
