Yoo Yeon-seong (Korean pronunciation: [ju.jʌn.sʌŋ]; born 19 August 1986) is a South Korean professional badminton player.[2] He specializes in doubles events and was ranked as high as No. 2 worldwide with his former partner, Ko Sung-hyun.[3] The two also competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[4] For a long time he played mixed doubles with Kim Min-jung, but later switched partners to play with Chang Ye-na, starting in 2011. Starting in late 2013, his men's doubles partner was Lee Yong-dae. Together, they reached a world ranking of No.1 in August 2014. Yoo was among 4 players reported to be retiring and hanging up his national team jersey after the Rio Olympics[5] but during the Korea Open that September, it was revealed that he would be continuing to play on the national team after his partner Lee Yong-dae retired. Yoo said that he wants to spend more time with his family.[6] After he and Lee won the Korea Open title, Yoo played an additional 9 international ranking events but his name was finally removed from the Korean national team list a few weeks after the 2017 Singapore Open.[7]
