South Korean player Lee Hyung-taik dominated the nine first years of competition at the event, winning seven titles in singles, and another in doubles. He was the champion in 2009, but he didn't defend his title, because retired due to left thigh injury in his match against Cho Soong-jae already in the first round. Lukáš Lacko won in the final 6–4, 6–2, against Dušan Lojda.
