The Myeongin (Korean: 명인전, Hanja: 名人戰) is a Go competition in South Korea.
The word myeongin in Korean language, literally meaning "Brilliant Man", is same as meijin in Japanese and as mingren in Chinese.
The Myeongin is the Hanguk Kiwon equivalent to the Nihon-Kiin's Meijin title.
[1][2][3] The Myeongin was formerly sponsored by the Kangwon Land Corporation.
The sponsor is the SG Group, with the Hankook Ilbo newspaper and Korea Baduk Association as co-hosts.
