4. World Domination of Korea Baduk
 
※ Lee Chang-ho Emerges as the World Number One.
 
In the 97/98 season, Lee Chang-ho consolidated his position as the world champion. Domestically
he swept the opposition away, winning almost all the titles, and was equally successful internationally, winning the 1st LG Cup, the 2nd Samsung Cup, the 9th Tongyang Securities Cup and the 3rd Samsung Cup. Players over the world aspire to Lee Chang-ho' s prowess, but expect his dominance to continue for the time being. The future for Korean Baduk looks very bright with many brilliant youth players who are still developing their talents.
After the 1998 Asian Financial Crisis, activities became severely constricted. Now, however, the situation looks much brighter and poised for another take off.
The Internet Baduk boom will play a large part in this.
The KBA leads in Internet Baduk with live game commentaries, significant game appreciations, many technical essays and so on provided through the 'World Cyber Kiwon'. The rapid development of Internet Baduk makes advanced information and theory available to a wide audience.
