Wow, three fandom-related posts in a row! Hopefully, this post will actually prove to be somewhat useful, in contrast to the last two.
I try to avoid nitpicking when people write the Korean professionals because Hikaru no Go itself is a Japanese series, but for those of you who are interested in verisimilitude, I thought I'd make a list of points having to do with Korean as a language and how it differs from Japanese. Hopefully it will make a good reference.

By the way, I actually don't expect people to take all of the above into account when writing the baduk pros. But I talked about making this post about a year ago, and a few people expressed interest in it, so I thought I might as well put it up now.

shidougo. I don't know if I'll really be able to participate, but I think it's worth watching.
myaru also made an interesting post with ideas for fic focusing on Sai that draws on Japanese history and culture here.
Yours &c.
