Rico Sports, Kwon Soon-woo's agency, said, "Kwon Soon-woo's shoulder injury has recurred, and in consultation with his team, he has decided not to participate in the National Sports Festival."
The future Men's Professional Tennis (ATP) tour schedule is also undecided.
Rico Sports said, “I think we will have to wait and see what happens.”
Kwon Soon-woo is having a difficult year.
He injured his shoulder after the Qatar Exxon Mobile Open last February and took a half-year hiatus.
He returned to the court at the US Open last August, but was eliminated in the first round.
At the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, where he was aiming for a gold medal and special military service benefits, he was eliminated in the second round of the singles match and had to be satisfied with a bronze medal in the men's doubles match.
In particular, in the second round of singles, after a shocking loss to Kasidit Samrez (Thailand), ranked 600th, he was criticized for hitting his racket on the floor several times and refusing to shake his opponent's handshake.
Kwon Soon-woo, who was criticized for his rough court manners, even had to write a handwritten apology.
And right after the Asian Games, he broke up with his girlfriend, singer Yubin from the girl group Wonder Girls.
