Personal

Kim Eunsun had an English blog at [ext] http://www.starbaduk.com/ (expired)

She has an older sister, Kim Eun-ok, who is a 6-dan amateur.

She married Park Byeongkyu (9p) in 2010. They have a son born c. 2013 and a daughter born c. 2017. Their son is a strong Go player and an aspiring professional.

She is a close friend of Lee Hajin, who is the same age.

She described [ext] her career as a female Baduk professional player and teacher:

“There are some differences between men and women in professional Go. Players from our gym are very active, and I don’t feel pressured when I play against my students. Women have a hard time because they have a gap due to childbirth and other reasons, but I don’t really care because it’s good that my juniors are rising. Since my grades are in the middle group, I don’t feel much stress about winning, and I enjoy playing Go with my juniors.”

Kim speaks Japanese well, which helps when dealing with Japanese students at her husband’s dojo.
