There was a big match of round 16 of 19^th LG Cup on 11^th of June in Korea KangLeong. Players in the round 8 are 4 to 4 between Korea and China exactly. Park JungHwan 9Dan, Kim JiSuk 9Dan, Choi ChelHan 9Dan and Park YoungHun 9Dan are them from Korea and Thi Jiaxi, Chen Yaoye, Pan TingYue and Xie Erhao are them from China.

Kim JiSuk alerted for the first player who won in the round 16. Kim JiSuk 9Dan won against Li Je 7Dan from China by resign with black. Kim JiSuk 9Dan indicated that his first goal of this year is to win the world championship and this would be the first step for it. Kim JiSuk has had no connection with LG Cup since the round 4 in 2011. It has been three years he got round 8 in the LG Cup.

After him, Park YoungHun 9Dan also won agasint An DongShi from China by resign with white and Park JungHwan 9Dan won against Tang WeiXing 9Dan from China by resign with white who won Samsung Cup last year.

The last hero was Choi ChelHan 9Dan. Before this game, the total score was 1 win 5losese for Choi ChelHan 9Dan against Xie He 9Dan from China. But he overcomes all of burden he had on this shoulder by this game.

But Kang DongYun 9Dan lost against Pan TingYu who won Ing Cup last time and Byun Sangil from Korea lost against Thi Jiaxi from China.

This was a first result since Korea Baduk National Team has been in public and it has a lot of meaning for it. You ChangHuk a director of Korea Baduk National Team said that it is just beginning, I can't say anything. But all players who got round 8 trained very hard and good. I would see this is a good start for us.

In the round 8, the matches are as below.

Park JungHwan 9Dan vs Chen Yaoye 9Dan.

Kim JiSuk 9Dan vs Thi Jiaxi 9Dan

Choi ChelHan 9Dan vs Pan TingYu 9Dan
