I heard many times that I am 'mymy'. I don't know why people believe that I am 'mymy'. I am NOT. Actually I played against mymy and won at KGS.

I currently moved to LA and hopefully will teach go here. -Myungwan Kim

According to [ext] http://notquitepro.blogspot.com/2009/05/player-profiles-kim-suengjun-9p.html , Mok Chinseok 9P plays as mymy on KGS.
