Baek Hong-seok said, “I can’t believe it. He must have been too tired, so I asked him to make it as difficult as possible by harassing him, but it seems to have happened. It was an all-in operation, and I thought it was wrong because I was mistaken in the middle, but I saw that it was okay in my life.” Then, he confessed the secret to winning, saying, “I thought of putting it where I wanted rather than leaving it as it is known.”
Baek Hong-seok, a 23-year-old professional player who made his professional debut in 2001, is a veteran who won the 4th BC Card World Baduk Championship in 2012 and the TV Baduk Asian Championship in the same year. Lately, he has been focusing on TV commentary rather than the big game, but on this day, he showed his potential to break down the world’s strongest Shin Jin-seo.
