Yoo Hyun-young (badminton)


Yoo Hyun-young is a badminton player from South Korea. Her first big result internationally came when, at the age of 16, she partnered Lee Yong-dae to win the mixed doubles title at the 2006 BWF World Junior Championships, as well as the mixed team title. She was a team-mate of both Bae Yeon-ju and Jung Kyung-eun at Masan's Sungji Girls' High School and in 2007, all three girls were runners-up at the 2007 BWF World Junior Championships.
After graduating to the senior ranks, Yoo continued to play with both Jung and Shin Baek-cheol, her partner in her last year of junior play. She and Shin were mixed doubles runners-up at the 2010 Swiss Open Super Series. Later that year, she and Jung won their first Grand Prix title, the Korea Grand Prix. However, shortly afterward, both pairings were split up.
Yoo, Bae Yeon-ju, Jung Kyung-eun, and Bae Seung-hee, among others, were coached by Yoo's father Yoo Gap-soo both at Sungji Girls' High School and later at Korea Ginseng Corporation.
