Korea and China made a great balance in the round 4 of SamSung Cup. Park JungHwan and Kim JiSuk 9Dan challenge to win the SamSung Cup for the first time from Korea. From China, Shi Yue and Tang WeiXing 9Dan are ready to compete against Korea in the round 4.

Kim JiSuk 9Dan won against Long Yi 4Dan by resign with black for the first among players in the round 16. After that, Park JungHwan 9Dan won against Juo LuiYang 9Dan by resign as well.

But Lee SeDol 9Dan who came up second last year lost against Shi Yue 9Dan from China by resign and Kang DoingYun 9Dan also lost against Tang WeiXing 9Dan who is the defending champion of SamSung Cup by resign.

This chance is very important for Park JungHwan 9Dan as he has no world championship title since 2012. Park JungHwan 9Dan and Kim JiSuk 9Dan should prove their level at this moment against Chinese players.
