Choi Jeong advanced to main tournament.......

[Elom]

Xie Erhao was so close...

So what is the "percentage survival rate" for Korea and China? (I know Japan's is 0%)

Choi Cheolhan 9p was defeated by Gu Lingyi. I see him doing well to play against the strong players all the time, I hope he goes far.

Choi Jeong advanced to main tournament.......

If we assume that each player has a 50% chance of winning against any other player in any one game, just that metric shows how hard it must be... Even poor An Khukyhun was knocked out... Anyway, I have result tables to make...

Korean sources (Wbaduk) say the record between Gu Li and Lee Sedol is 23-22 in favour of Gu Li, but I think on go4go.net, it gives a score of 23-24 for Lee Sedol... Plus that one draw...

And are only tournament games considered i.e. discounting or counting the 2014 Jubango?

The Jubango games are considered. I think the two games not included by Korean sources are the two special invitational games: Year 2013 Porcelain Capital Special and Year 2009 Fenghuang Special, both of which were wins by Lee Sedol.

In interview,

Choi Jeong - She wanted to play with Ke Jie because he is very strong and also very cute.

Ke Jie - He wants to meet Choi Jeong in the final.
