The Korea Open 2026 will be held at Jinnam Stadium from November 3 to 8, with several Indians competing in the USD 500,000 BWF Super 500 tournament.

With fifth seed Lakshya Sen withdrawing following his title-winning run at the Hylo Open in Germany, India’s challenge in men’s singles will be led by H. S. Prannoy, who faces South Korea’s Yoo Tae Bin.

In women’s singles, Tanvi Sharma takes on Japan’s Manami Suizu, while Anmol Kharb meets Canada’s Rachel Chan. Anmol will look to build on her semifinal finish at the Hylo Open. Malvika Bansod has also withdrawn from the tournament.

World No. 1 An Se-young headlines the women’s singles field. P. V. Sindhu, the Hylo Open champion, had earlier opted out of both the Korea Open and the Japan Masters.
