Chinese shuttlers concluded their campaign at the South Korea Open with two gold medals and one silver on Sunday.  

Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping beat compatriots Jiang Zhenbang and Wei Yaxin in an all-Chinese mixed doubles final 21-16, 21-13.  

Afterwards, Feng said that he hoped to play with his best effort in future matches rather than focus too much on results, and Huang looked forward to their first Asian Games trip since the two paired up last year. 

Later, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan beat local pair Kim So-yeong and Kong Hee-yong 21-10, 17-21, 21-7 in the women's doubles final to claim their third title of the season.  

Team China will go on to compete in the Japan Open which starts on July 25.
