It has to be said that the Korean Go community has a sharp weapon to create gods, and the first person in their different eras often becomes the first person in the world at that time, not only that, these first people have almost crushed the Chinese Go masters to the point of wanton behavior. On closer examination, the miserably bullied by the national players began in the final of the first Ying's Cup in 1989, sadly, it has been almost 33 years since then, but the process of resignation is still continuing, and the suppressed drama is still being staged, and I don't know when it will end.
The first korean Go players were Cho Hwan-hyun, Lee Chang-ho, Lee Sedol, Park Young-hwan, shin Jin-hyun, in addition to Park Ting-hwan, how did the other four create the tragedy of the national players? Let me tell you one by one.
Cho Hwan Hyun
In the journey of competing for the world championship title, Cao Xuanxuan, the nine-time champion of the World Series, has encountered chinese chess players in the final four times, and as a result, people have killed Nie Weiping's apprentice and left a piece of armor, and won a complete victory, let us sigh in vain!
The first time was naturally the well-known first Ying's Cup Wufan Chess Final, and Cao Xuanxuan later came to the top to reverse the then indispensable ring hero Nie Weiping Qisheng with a score of 3:2. Unfortunately, even so, Korean Go still cannot enter the eyes of Chinese counterparts, believing that Nie Weiping's defeat is its own factor, not the strength of its opponents.
In August 2000, the 13th Fujitsu Cup final was held between Cho Andh-hyun and Chang-ho. At that time, Nie Weiping had already fallen off the altar and almost retreated to the second line, while Cao Xuanxuan was still majestic, even if Nie Weiping's high disciples came up, they were still suppressed by him. Only pity Chang Hao, who was tricked by Cao Li's master and apprentice.
In December 2001, in the 6th Samsung Cup Triple Chess Final, Chang Hao still failed to cross the level of Cho Hwan-hyun; In the final of the 7th Three-Star Cup in January 2003, Nie Weiping, another high-footed Wang Lei, still signed the alliance under the city against Cao Lao, who was close to 50 years old.

Lee Chang-ho
As the first person in the World Series, Lee Chang-ho in his heyday crushed China's best players to the point of unscrupulousness. From 1996 to 2005, Lee Chang-ho competed with Ma Xiaochun (4 times), Chang Hao (3 times) and Zhou Heyang (1 time) in the finals of the World Series, and he did not lose a single victory like chopping melons and chopping vegetables.
Another proud record of Shi Fo is the winning streak of chinese counterparts. He has won 12 consecutive victories against Chang Hao, 10 consecutive wins against Ma Xiaochun, and a wave of nine consecutive wins against Yu Bin.
Lee Sedol
Lee Sedol, who is second in the world championship rankings, met his lifelong opponent Gu Li, which made his suppression of Chinese chess players less conspicuous, but he could still show off.
Lee Sedol has won three previous World Series finals against Chinese players, namely, in December 2004, he defeated Wang Tan in the final of the 9th Samsung Cup, in January 2005 he defeated Chang Hao in the final of the 2nd Toyota Cup, and in January 2009, he defeated Kong Jie in the final of the 13th Samsung Cup.
Lee Chang-ho and Lee Sedol
Another special achievement of Lee Sedol was the 2014 Gu Li Juban Chess Battle, which defeated Gu Li by a huge margin of 6:2. This is the only juban duel between transnational Go masters so far.
Li Sedol's record of winning streaks against China's top masters is one 11 consecutive wins against Chang Hao and nine consecutive wins against Kong Jie. His data in this regard is second only to Lee Chang-ho.
Park Ting-hwan
Park Young-hwan, the first-best player in Korean Go, met Chinese players three times in the World Series finals, winning Qiu Jun in the final Fujitsu Cup and losing to Fan Ting-woo and Tang Wei-sung in the 7th and 8th Ying Cups.
The only thing Park Tinghuan was able to come up with was the winning streak, with Chinese Go world champions Tan Xiao and Zhou Ruiyang each winning six in a row and five straight wins, and that was it.
Shen Zhen Chen
Shen Zhenchen, who was born in 2000 and is only 22 years old this year, has created several "appalling" tragedies against Chinese adepts. The most unbearable thing is the 24-game winning streak against Chinese players in official matches since June 8, 2021, but this record was ended on August 4 this year because he was put down by Mi Yuting in the League.
But Shen Zhenchen also has an arrogant record that has not been completed, that is, since November 3, 2020, in the second set of the 25th Samsung Cup final, he has remained unbeaten against Chinese chess players in the international official competition, and the current winning streak is as high as 20 games.
Shin Jin-chan won the LG Cup
Shen Zhenchen's record of consecutive wins against several well-known international players is also unprecedented, with eight consecutive wins against Xie Erhao, seven consecutive wins against Shi Yue and Tang Weixing, and five consecutive wins against Fan Tingyu and Yang Dingxin, and these data may also rise.
It can be said that some of the records created by the first person in Korean Go are simply a shame for Chinese Go, such as Shi Fo's consecutive wins for Ma Xiaochun and Chang Hao, the first people of the two generations of China, and Shin Jin-chan's 24 consecutive wins and 20 consecutive wins. When will the indisputable national players make the melon-eating masses raise their eyebrows and breathe?
