Kim Seungjun KBA

Kim Seungjun (Hangul:김승준, Hanja:金承俊), a.k.a Blackie, is a Korean professional 9 dan player. He is perhaps best known in the West as co-founder with Diana Koszegi (Hungarian 1 dan pro in Korea) of [ext] Blackie's International Baduk Academy (BIBA), where many (100+) foreigners have studied. "Blackie" comes from the nickname "black knight" he was called due to his dark complexion.

Kim Seungjun is the son of Kim Dong-ho (Director of the Gunpo Sanbon Branch of the Korea Baduk Association) and his wife Im Seong-rye. Kim Seungjun is the father of Kim Hyunbin 3p by his wife Choi Kyung-sook (elementary school teacher); they were the [ext] 4th father-son Korean professional pair.

Uberdude: I studied at BIBA for 2 months in summer 2013, you can get an idea of what life is like there from my journal on L19: [ext] http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8451.
