The Korea-Japan finals of the Baduk tournament that is currently a hot topic in Japan.

Shin Min-jun, ranked 4th in Korea vs. Ichirikiryo, ranked 1st in Japan

We met in the finals of the 30th LG Cup Chosun Ilbo Championship.

It is said to be the first time in 21 years that Korean and Japanese drivers have faced each other in the finals of a major world championship.

The last time was the 17th Fujitsu Cup in 2004 (Younghoon Park vs Norimoto Yoda)

However, this became a hot topic in Japan because it was reminiscent of the old Baduk cartoon Ghost Baduk King (Hikaru’s Baduk).

(Ghost Baduk King ends with the protagonist losing to a Korean Baduk player in the finals of the tournament)

It was scheduled for 3rd round, but in the 1st round held yesterday, Shin Min-jun was upset by Ichirikiryo and lost.

Part 2 is scheduled to be held tomorrow (to be held today)

Ichirikiryo is said to be one of the leading players in the Japanese Baduk world and is very popular.

So it seems like there is something that is becoming more of a hot topic.

In Japan, the main character of Hikaru’s Go lost, but they are waiting for tomorrow’s game to be broadcast, hoping that you can do it.

What will happen?

———————————————————————————————-

Shin Min-jun won today, making it a 1:1 situation.

The results will be decided by the three countries tomorrow.
