Tanya Hemanth is the lone Indian to feature in current edition.

As the Hylo Open 2023 wrapped up its exciting badminton action in Europe, the global badminton community now turns its attention to Asia for the upcoming BWF Korea Masters 2023. Scheduled to begin on November 7th, this tournament is already generating a buzz among fans and enthusiasts. However, what makes this event unique is not just the action it promises but also the notable absentees from the list of star players who won’t be gracing the courts this time.

One of the disappointments for badminton aficionados is the absence of several prominent male players who had previously made their mark in international badminton. Notable names like Brian Yang, Ng Tze Yong, and Cheam June Wei will be missing in action at the Korea Masters 2023. This absence leaves a void in the men’s singles category, but it also opens doors for emerging talents to make their presence felt on the international stage.

Brian Yang, known for his fiery gameplay and impressive speed, has been a rising star in the badminton circuit. Ng Tze Yong, with his finesse and technical prowess, has been a favorite among fans. Cheam June Wei, with his agile movements and attacking style, has also created quite a following. Their absence will undoubtedly be felt, but it also paves the way for new talents to shine.

While some big names won’t be participating, there is a silver lining for fans of Japanese badminton. The long-awaited return of Kento Momota adds a dash of excitement to the Korea Masters 2023. Momota, after a three-month hiatus, will be back on the court.

His presence at the Korea Masters adds a layer of excitement to the tournament, and fans are eager to see if he can continue his remarkable journey in the sport.
