Not Victor, Yonex and Li Ning are the two units determined to stay in the end in An Se Young's signature struggle. Yonex's initial proposal was 1.4 million USD per year under a contract with a term of 2-3 years. Shortly thereafter, Li Ning involved with a proposal of 2.5 million USD/year for 4 years.
The parties can “auction” until An Se Young makes a final decision. However, Korean players are likely to consider choosing sponsors according to another criterion. It is the equipment and sports equipment of the sponsor suitable for her or not.
The contract was given by Yonex and Li Ning for An Se Young to almost the entire competition of the athletes. Accordingly, Korean tennis players will use their tennis, clothes, shoes, socks. The above provisions are given to avoid another sponsor in the future.
On the side of the competition shoes, An Se Young once said Yonex's shoes made her face some difficulties in moving. This may be a factor that makes An Se Young consider negotiating with Yonex, even in case the company raises the sponsor contract value to the equivalent of Li Ning.
On the other hand, An Se Young's judgment can become a factor for Li Ning to swirl in. If they design a new and good shoe model for the top athletes like An Se Young, this will be a best -selling item for many years to come. Because, the claim of the quality from a top -notch athlete always ensures the reputation of a commercial product.
Witnessing An Se Young's step forward, I will see her as an amazing player. 6 years ago, An Se Young “was a thin girl who came to Vietnam to accumulate points”, as shared by an international referee. Now, she is a symbol of the world badminton, and is sought by brands by all means.
