List of Korean professionals

   

This page is in need of attention.
Reason: The spellings don't always match the latest Revised Romanizations. But then, many Koreans choose to use older systems for their own namedis inaccurate. But List of Korean Names has its own problems too. It'll take a lot of effort to create a proper list. Plus: being organized along an unstable criterium like rank, it is unmaintainable. Better order alphabetically


List of professional players who are from or reside in South Korea.

Revised Romanization is often rather counter-intuitive. E.g., the "eo" vowel combination is pronounced somewhat like "uh", never like "ay-oh" or "ee-oh".

bugcat: Back in 2022, I made a more orderly list with duplicated romanisation.

Hankuk Kiwon (KBA)

List of professionals affiliated with Hankuk Kiwon. Based on [ext] the official list on their website.

Pros who teach outside Korea got an "honorary" rank bump to prevent confusion with amateur dan ranks. That's why they are listed lower here.

Automatic romanization was used, so they could be different to the page titles in SL.

Notes

Dieter: See List of Korean Names. Also, an alphabetic list will be more stable than a ranked list.

Dieter: the following names in the libary were orphans. As I don't really want to maintain the list per rank, I leave it to others:

Chang Geonhyun Chang Hyeoryeong Choi Kyeongho Cho Seunga Cho Wankyu Hyun Yubin Jen Yongsu Jen Youngkyu Jin Siyeung Jong Hunhyun Kang Wuhyuk Kim Changhun Kim Eunseun KimH yeongwan Kim Hyenchan Kim Jimyeong Kim Kibum Kim Kyeongwan Kim Kyeungeun Kim Myeunghun Kim Sangcheon Kim Seongi Kim Yeongkwang Kwon Juri Moon Myunggun OByeongwoo Park Dongju Park Geunho Park Hyunsu Park Junhun Park Yeonglong Yi Chungyu Yi Hoseong Yi Hyeunjun Yi Taye You Byungyong Go Mi-So
