Korean title, equivalent to the Japanese Meijin and to the Chinese Mingren. Also written Myungin. Discontinued in 2004, the 35th Myeongin was held in 2007. Discontinued again in 2016.

All players in a 10 person league, including the previous year's winner, compete to determine which two will play in a best of five match. The top three players remain in the league, with the other seven having to re-earn their place via the qualifying tournament. First Prize is now 100.000.000 Won.

Starting from 37th edition, 12 players are split in two Leagues (each of 6 players); from 39th edition, 16 players compete in a knock-out tournament.

The tournament was revived a second time in 2021, as a double elimination knockout. The sponsor changed from Kangwon Land to SG Corporation.
