World No. 1 badminton player An Se-young has shared her meticulous self-management secrets.
On the October 19th episode of tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz'), An Se-young, the top-ranked women's singles badminton player, appeared to update fans on her recent activities.
During the show, host Yoo Jae-suk welcomed An Se-young, noting, "Three years ago, you were ranked No. 2 in the world, and now you're No. 1. The atmosphere has changed a lot." An Se-young responded, "Today, I'm not on the court, so I let my hair down and wore casual clothes. I just finished a European tour and took a short break to appear on 'You Quiz.'"
When asked about her impressive 94% win rate, she explained, "When I'm in good condition, the shuttlecock seems to move slower, and I gain confidence that I can hit every shot. When I feel the energy of 'winning today,' I try to stay calm."
An Se-young's dedication to her daily routine also caught attention. She revealed, "Since I have continuous matches, I completely avoid fried foods. I stopped eating them after having some last Christmas. I also avoid dairy and raw foods, sticking to a balanced diet. I run 10 laps every morning and have added English studies to my routine," she said, surprising many.
