The winner of the inaugural tournament was
Hee Kyung Seo, a member of the
LPGA of Korea Tour (KLPGA). She became the 19th non-LPGA member in LPGA Tour history to win an LPGA Tournament and the first to win as a sponsor exemption since
Jin Joo Hong won the
KOLON-Hana Bank Championship in South Korea in October
2006. With the win, Seo became immediately eligible for LPGA membership and was a rookie on the LPGA Tour in 2011. In 2011, the event was decided by the final pairing on the final green. With both players tied at 15-under,
Sandra Gal hit a wedge to within of the hole and
Jiyai Shin was out. Gal made hers for birdie to win her first LPGA event by a stroke. The event was formerly named the Kia Classic. In 2022, the title sponsor of the tournament changed to
JTBC (Joongang Tongyang Broadcasting Company), a South Korean nationwide pay television network. ==Tournament names==
