Choi Yerim, who debuted on the regular tour in 2018, achieved her first win in her 239th career event. The winner's prize is 180 million won.

There were no changes at the top of the rankings because there was no Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour event. Nelly Korda (USA), Atthaya Thitikul (Thailand), Hae-ran Yu, Hyo-joo Kim, Lin Xiyu (China), Miyu Yamashita (Japan), Lottie Woad, Charley Hull (both England), Sei-young Kim, and Hannah Green (Australia) all remained in the top 10.

Lydia Ko (New Zealand) ranked 12th, Minjee Lee (Australia) was 13th, and 'super rookie' Kim Min-sol, who finished third at the OK Savings Bank Uzman Open, placed 14th. Yoon Ina was 20th, Hye-jin Choi 23rd, Im Jin-hee 26th, Kim Arim 27th, and Seo Gyolim secured the 30th spot.
