KUCHING: World No. 1 men’s doubles shuttler Seo Seung-jae arrived today for a three-day Sarawak visit focused on promoting cardiopulmonary health and encouraging active, healthy living through sport.
Seo and his wife, Moon Shin Hyung, were welcomed upon arrival by OCI TerraSus Community Partnership Project leader Lee Sang Chan.
“First time to Kuching, but I have very high expectations that I will enjoy it here.
“So, even though I am staying only a few days, I would love to see Kuching and experience the different culture here,” Seo told reporters, as translated by Lee at the Kuching International Airport (KIA).
A statement distributed at the event said that the pair were invited by OCI TerraSus for the Life Campaign – Stay Healthy, Stay Connected.
