Following the ‘Korean Express’ Park Chan-ho (48), Yoon Seok-min’s (35) professional golf challenge also ended with a ‘last place cut off’. On the second day of the KPGA Korean Tour Bizplay-Electronic Times Open (total prize money 600 million won) held at Happiness Golf Course in Naju, Jeonnam (par 72, 7,125 yards) on the 3rd, he added 5 over par to finish in 147th place. On the first day, he scored 15 over par, and on this day, it was a consolation that he performed well with 3 birdies, 4 bogeys, and 2 double bogeys.

Park Chan-ho had already experienced the bitter taste of the pro stage, finishing 153rd (29 over par 171 strokes) at the KPGA Gunsan CC Open in May, and 152nd (-16 points) at the Yamaha-Onus K Open, which was played in a Modified Stableford format. Yoon Seok-min said, "I was very eager to do well today because yesterday’s result was so bad," and added, "I am satisfied with shooting 77." He also mentioned, "There will be a semi-pro test in October," and added, "I will start a full-fledged challenge as a golf player."
