[Saba Sports News] The Korean team has recently launched a gold coin support star card made of pure gold, priced at up to 220,000 won. This initiative aims to support the badminton team participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The gold cards, made of 1g of pure gold by the Korean Mint, are being sold for 8 badminton players. Part of the proceeds will be used for the development of Korean sports. Some fans jokingly speculated that the Korean Badminton Association may have launched the support gold card because they believe these players have little chance of winning the gold medal and want to motivate them to work harder. Among the Korean badminton team, only An Se-young, the women’s singles sister, has the potential to win the championship as she is currently ranked No. 1 in the women’s singles world.
