The Olympic champion and freshly retired player Lee Hyo Jung (31) is set to get married  on October 29th this year. As a matter of fact, Lee Hyo Jung revealed during her retirement announcement, that she would finally grab a chance to get back to studies and possibly get married.

At last, the Asian and Olympic Games gold medallist disclosed her fiancé as Seok Seung Ho (31) a former basketball player and now coaching the Danguk University team.  The two formalized their relationship through their own Cyworld blogs.

Badminton fans can be reassured as Lee Hyo Jung insisted she will keep on playing for her local team (Samsung) even after getting married.  She and all of Korea’s top players not in Singapore at present are in action for the Summer Classic in Andong this week.

All of us at Badzine wish the couple a life filled with joy and happiness.
