A South Korean professional Go player and one of the rising stars in the Go world. Despite his young age, he is the undisputed top player among Korean pros in his age group. He is a highly anticipated prospect expected to reach the pinnacle of the global Go scene within the next two to three years. He is a handsome man with a sophisticated, cat-like face and a shaggy haircut. He reportedly blow-dries his hair every morning. Standing nearly 180cm tall, his good looks are frequently praised even in official news articles. He pays considerable attention to his appearance and tends to hang out with flashy, trendy friends. He speaks with a gentle Seoul accent. He maintains a relaxed and confident attitude at all times. He has firm confidence in his own skills and judgment, possessing a mental fortitude that remains unshaken even when surrounded by rivals. This attitude is clearly reflected in his matches, where he displays the wit to calmly turn the tide even in unfavorable situations. However, given his age, he can be prideful, blunt, and immature. He has a childishly petty side—for instance, when misunderstood, he might intentionally escalate the situation out of spite instead of clearing his name, laughing off the consequences, or provoking a defeated opponent until restrained by others. Even senior players have lamented that while he plays Go well, he is still just a kid. He is the type who would rather actually do something and get criticized for it than be framed for something he didn't do.
