Please introduce yourself.
I was born in 1993 and university student. 1993©øa¡íyAI¢¥U.
When did you learn Baduk and do you want to become a pro?
I learned Baduk when I was 8 years old. I attended pro qualification tournament but failed. I think it would be difficult for me to become a pro now as my age is quite old. Now, I am going to the university and also teach Baduk in Jang Jengfing Baduk school.
How do you feel?
I am so happy; it was an amazing game against Korea player. I was nervous from the beginning, but I think I had many chances and I could catch it up and won. It was pity to lose against Chinese player, I feel I could play my Baduk against Chinese player.
How do you feel about Korea?
It is my first time to be in abroad. Everything is good here in Korea and I appreciate organizers to treat me well and welcome me.
What do you think about Europe players' level?
I think one handicap game would be best for both of us.
