Park Jieun In Korean Prices Information Cup

Park Jieun, the third woman in history to achieve rank 9 dan entered league D of the Korean Prices Information Cup (KPIC). This tournament sponsored by Korean Prices Infomation Foundation using a 4 leagues tournament. Top 2 of both league will play in a knock-out game and the final using best of 3 games.

I don't understand how Park Jieun can entered the league. Perhaps by invitation, since she wasn't in the last preliminary.

Her first game was today. She played against Kang Dongyun. One of the rising star in Korea. Unfortunately, she lost the game by 3.5 point.
