On the 27th, at Pocheon Hills Golf Club in Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do (par 72, 6610 yards), she shot 6-under par on the final day of the KLPGA Tour BC Card-Hankyung Ladies Cup (total prize money 700 million won) to claim a one-stroke victory (10-under par 278). This is her first championship after debuting on the KLPGA Tour in 2018 and competing in 58 tournaments. The winner's prize money is 126 million won. Starting from a tie for 13th place, 5 strokes behind, she made a comeback drama by sinking 7 birdies (1 bogey).

Jang Ha-na (29, BC Card) tied the course record with 9-under par and rose to a tie for 2nd place (9-under par 279).
