quick conversion from 50 million won to U.S. or Canadian dollars plz someone? (I know Im too lazy to google it). Also, would this be a single grand prize for first place, given partially to the runners-up, or used for the actual running or the tourneys?

Right now, 50mil won = 39,585.713
It keeps going up and down due to the economy. Korean won was very close to US dollars last year.
