Former world #1 is getting married and expecting a baby, according to an article published today by Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.  The Beijing mixed doubles gold medallist was in the news already this week for joining a new professional team but just two days later, his mother told Yonhap that she was looking forward to a new daughter-in-law and a new grandchild as Lee will tie the knot with actress Byun Soo Mi.  The happy grandma-to-be also announced that Lee Yong Dae wishes to raise his daughter as a badminton player.  We at Badzine wish Lee Yong Dae and his future wife all the best in their new life together.
