Blackie’s International Baduk Academy was opened in Seoul in 2011 by Kim Seung-jun 9p (Blackie) and Kőszegi Diána 1p (Dia).

Over the past 13 years, BIBA has welcomed more than 250 students from 36 different countries. In 2017 we went worldwide with  BIBA Online!

We had a break since the COVID-19 pandemic started, but we have decided to open BIBA again! We were open for a total of six months, three months each in Autumn 2022 and Autumn 2023. Additionally, we opened again between February and March in 2024.

We’re thrilled to announce that BIBA is reopening its doors for an exciting new session from mid-May to the end of June 2024! 

The places are limited, so hurry up and register! Hope to see you soon! 

BIBA is a place for students to improve in Baduk while learning about the Korean culture and making new friends from all around the world or even among top professional players! Studying hard in Seoul, just like a younguseng (insei) or not moving a foot from your home and joining us through our Online Teaching, the choice is yours!

Please contact us here! You can also find BIBA’s room on KGS or simply leave us a message on Facebook 🙂 ! For now, we welcome you to explore our website and hope you join the BIBA family very soon!

Blackie & Dia 😊
