Go master Cho Hun-hyeon visits 'Baekban Gihang'.

On the 15th, the TV CHOSUN program 'Chef Heo Young-man's Baekban Gihang' will feature 'Go Emperor' Cho Hun-hyeon, who has reached the pinnacle of the world, embarking on a journey to explore Mokpo's dining scene.

'The first domestic 9-dan' Cho Hun-hyeon thrilled the entire nation by winning the inaugural Ing Cup at the 1989 World Go Championship. He later became the first Korean Go player to be the protagonist of a car parade. During that time, a banner in photos taken stated 'to go crazy,' leading to an embarrassing incident. The details of the car parade event, where a warm welcome turned into chaos, pique curiosity.

Meanwhile, Cho Hun-hyeon notes that the tournament with the highest prize money he has ever received is the 1st Ing Cup. The winning prize at that time was a whopping '$400,000', enough to buy 3 APTs in Gangnam. He recalls having difficulty concentrating on the game as the massive prize money kept flashing in front of his eyes and shares the backstory of his victory.

Next, the real protagonist of the film 'Seungbu', Cho Hun-hyeon, praises actor Lee Byung-hun for his finger acting while playing Go. He reportedly shed his usually serious demeanor and revealed a surprisingly talkative side that moved the chef.

In the meantime, the '1st Baekban Gihang Cup Go Tournament' unfolds. Go master Cho Hun-hyeon faces off against culinary master Heo Young-man for a plate of jjajangmyeon. The food critic, known for his deliberative style, continues with serious expressions, while Cho Hun-hyeon engages in a heated match, saying, 'They say losing happens when someone else's house appears larger.' The food critic's Go skills, laying down the groundwork before the God of Go, attract attention.

Meanwhile, during filming, Cho Hun-hyeon's wife and the mother of two Go champions, Jeong Mi-hwa, appears. She shares, 'When my husband is alone with me, he is very affectionate,' revealing a loving side of the seemingly stoic Cho Hun-hyeon. She also confesses the difficulty of her role between the two when her husband lost to his disciple Lee Chang-ho, stating, 'I was preoccupied with observing both sides.'

'Eternal contender' Go master Cho Hun-hyeon will appear on TV CHOSUN's 'Chef Heo Young-man's Baekban Gihang' today (15th) at 7:50 p.m.
