4. World Domination of Korea Baduk
 
※ Korea as World Leader in Baduk
 
1996 was an important year in establishing Korea as the world number one. In this year the LG and Samsung industrial groups began their sponsorships of major international tournaments, the Samsung Fire Cup (an open tournament) and the LG Cup. Henceforth the top players spent more time touring and playing at international level. Also in this year Yu Chang-hyuk won the 3rd Ing Cup, which was Kore'¡?s third consecutive victory. The most significant achievement in this year was Lee Chang-ho¡?s garnering of four international titles, to become the world¡?s number one player. At the beginning of 1997, Korea won their fifth consecutive Jinro Cup thanks to Seo Bong-s' ¡?s nine straight victories over the top Japanese and Chinese representatives.
