Gwangju Seo-gu Public Sports Club, 'Kim Ha-yoon' Wins Baduk Tournament
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Shin Dong-ho] The Seo-gu Public Sports Club of Gwangju Metropolitan City (representative Seo Tae-jong) announced on the 8th that their prodigy Go boy Kim Ha-yoon (4th grade at Bangnim Elementary School) crowned the Go king by winning the championship in the strongest division at the 10th Sunday Newspaper Cup World Children's Go Tournament.
Student Kim Ha-yoon said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Seo-gu Public Sports Club officials and coaches, and I dream of becoming a professional player like 9-dan Shin Jin-seo and Park Jeong-hwan."
In this tournament held as a non-contact online match, Seo-gu Public Sports Club, which won first place in the strongest division and received an encouragement award in the grade division, has achieved remarkable results amid the shrinking base of community sports due to concerns over the spread of infectious diseases, creating a very encouraging atmosphere.
Seo-gu Public Sports Club was launched in 2018 with the aim of contributing to the development of local sports by linking elite sports and community sports, fostering the mental and physical development of youth, and discovering outstanding athletes in the region.
Ryu Chang-won, Secretary General of Seo-gu Public Sports Club, said, "This year, the Go and baseball divisions were selected in the Korea Sports Council's professional athlete class recruitment for the second half of the year," adding, "We plan to continue to focus on nurturing professional talents who will shine in the region and strive to expand the base of community sports."
