Malaysia’s World No. 37 mixed doubles pair Jimmy Wong–Lai Pei Jing fell just short of clinching their maiden World Tour tournament title after going down to home favourites Kim Jae Hyeon–Jeong Na Eun in the Korea Masters 2025 final on Sunday.

Despite a spirited performance, the Malaysians were edged out 24-22, 21-18 in a tightly contested 47-minute battle against the experienced Korean duo, Jeong Na Eun, notably the silver medallist at the Paris 2024 Olympics alongside Kim Won Ho.

This latest result adds to the duo’s six previous runner-up finishes in BWF World Tour events - Macau Open, Vietnam International Challenge, Phuket International Series, St Denis Reunion Open, Indonesia Masters 1 and Indonesia Masters II.
