Less unexpectedly, presidents of South Korea are sometimes Go players:
Current president Moon Jae-in is a 4 dan, here he is playing Park Junghwan with Seo Beongsu watching.
Former president Roh Moo-hyun (2003-2008) was a 6 dan iirc.

One of the candidates for the Presidential election lists it as his favourite game. https://www.g4media.ro/live-dan-barna-n ... abila.html You can see at the end: "Jocul preferat: GO" favourite game: Go It seems he likes to talk about this recently. I hope he didn't read "The Protracted Game". |
