Overview
- An Se-young beat Akane Yamaguchi 21-12, 15-21, 21-16 in the Korea Open final to claim the women's singles title.
- The win gave An a record-tying 11th international title this year, matching the single-season mark first set by Kento Momota.
- An remains world No. 1 after a season in which she lost only once in 72 matches, with her lone defeat coming to Wang Zhiyi in the All England final.
- She extended her winning streak over Yamaguchi to 11 matches and chose to play the Korea Open on home soil despite considering skipping the event because of fatigue.
- The Korea Open is the only South Korean stop on the BWF World Tour and the victory highlights both An's dominance across major events and the strain of a relentless tournament calendar.
