It was founded in 1945 by Cho Namchul as the ''Hanseong Kiwon''. Baduk is a game which was present in Korea by the 5th century.

Initially, most Korean players followed the sunjang style of beginning by placing sixteen stones—eight white and eight black—on the board in a preset pattern. Cho Namchul, who had studied in Japan, knew that the international players began with an empty board like Japan since Japan was the first to introduce the game to the West. By forming the association, he set about convincing Koreans players to use the "modern" style. See also * International Go Federation * List of professional Go tourname ...
