Although I have declined the invitation many times before, as the person who invited the president to the Korean Chess Academy, I felt a great responsibility, so I decided to return to the Chess Academy. "In recent years, I have also received some business education, and I am confident that I can lay the foundation for the sustainable development of the (Korean) Go community and let the Korean chess academy lead the way." He went on to say: "As long as you trust the chief of affairs and work in a united manner, you can overcome the difficulties."
