Becoming a professional
Park qualified as a professional aged 17 by winning the 25th Regional Research Student Entrance Tournament on 24 Jan 2025. In the final, he beat Jeonnam Regional Research Student Lee Ju-hwan (19) in 172 moves.
When he became a pro, Park said:
I was very nervous in the deciding game, but when my opponent threw a rock (resigned), all my strength left my body in disbelief.
I will become a player who will not easily lose to anyone in the future.
I would like to thank my parents for their support and especially my instructor, Ok Deuk-jin (8p). My instructor was always by my side during the entrance exam, but he couldn’t be with me today because of something he had to do, but I think he will be very happy.
Ok Deuk-jin was not only Park’s trainer, but also the player he most admires.
