Who Wants to Play Badminton with Nichkhun?

Well, it'd be pretty hard to beat Nichkhun since you'd be staring at him the whole time if you did, but he and Olympic gold medalist Lee Yong Dae got a chance to duke it out in a friendly game of badminton.

Nichkhun met with athlete Lee Yong Dae at the 2010 Victor Korea Open Super Series, hosted by the Korean Badminton Association.

As a top badminton player in his highschool himself, Nichkhun was delighted to play against Lee Yong Dae. He stated in an interview, "I really admire Lee Yong Dae. I watched his games on television, so I'm very excited to meet him in person. I am looking forward to having a good time with Lee Yong Dae."

The match was held at the Seoul Olympic Park Stadium 2.

Here's a tad bit history on Lee Yong Dae:

-He was born in 1988 and started playing badminton at 8 years old in his elementary school.
-He and his partner, Lee Hyo-jung won the Gold metal in badminton mixed doubles at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, becoming the youngest gold medalists in Olympic badminton history!
-He is the cousin of the Korean-American movie star John Cho (who starred in Harold and Kumar)
