Go World News

The #MeToo movement has struck Go. A disciplinary committee of the Korean Baduk Association (KBA) resolved on June 8, 2018 to strip popular BadukTV commentator Kim Sungryong of his 9 dan rank and to expel him from the KBA. This comes following allegations of sexual assault by a foreign female Korean pro where Kim allegedly forced himself on her in 2009. Alcohol was involved.

Note: the female pro is named in the sources but is anonymous here for reasons.
