Baduk

Hangul: 바둑

Baduk (Hangul: 바둑, RR: Baduk, M-R: Paduk) is the Korean name for the game of Go. Alternative spellings are Paduk and Badook. It is pronounced (approximately) "bah-dook" or, in IPA, [pa̠duk̚].[1]

Though the Japanese word "Go" is generally used for the game in English, "baduk" sometimes appears too - for example, Reddit Go Club uses "r/baduk" for its subreddit name. Baduk Club is a website for running Go clubs.
