Cho Hye Yeon in Korean Newspaper
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Just found an article about Cho Hye Yeon’s blog in the English section of the Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo: “Student’s Blog Takes Baduk to a Global Audience”.
According to wikipedia, Chosun Ilbo is one of the major newspapers in South Korea.
I wrote about Hye Yeon and her wonderful blog in the past as well.
Very recently (yesterday, actually), she defended the honor of the female team in the GG Auction Cup, stopping Kim Jongsoo. (This is a Korean tournament between female players and senior male players. The first in the senior team was the famous Jimmy Cha (Cha Minsoo is his Korean name) who eliminated 5 female players before being finally defeated by Lee Minjin. She defeated 4 more seniors before losing to Kim Jongsoo).
Here’s Hye Yeon playing agains Kim Jongsoo:

The lids of stone bowls signed by the two players. Guess which one is signed by Hye Yeon:
Very luckily for the American Go players, Hye Yeon will visit the US Go Congress this year!
