Park Yeong-hun (Korean: 박영훈, born April 1, 1985), also known as Park Young-hoon and Pak Yeong-hoon, is a South Korean professional Go player.
Biography
Park Yeong-hun was born in Seoul. He is a professional Go player in the Hanguk Kiwon.
He is the youngest ever Korean 9 dan, promoted when he was only 19 years old. Due to the new rules set by the Hanguk Kiwon, Park moved up from 1 dan to 9 in only 4 years 7 months, which is the fastest progress ever.
Much of this was due to him winning the Fujitsu Cup in 2004, when he was at 4 dan. This also earned him exemption from military service.
His hobbies include tennis and playing Tetris.
Titles and runners-up
He ranks #8 in total amount of titles in Korea.
