We have a go database: 3 losses to Mingjiu, 1 to Jujo, 1 to Andy, 1 to Jie Li, one to Jie Liang. 41 wins.
While we're at it, she's second in the AGA ratings.

Unless it's been modified, it doesn't include online events I think. Those would be more representative for this tournament.
Edited... interesting I see a Chunlan online qualifier listed in there as an unrated event. So it is possible to do, but many of these tournaments are not in there or being added yet.

The 41 wins are largely against sacrificial lambs in early tournament rounds. Better is to look at her performance against top-tier AGA players. Against Jujo Jiang plus the top-ten AGA rated players:
vs. Ming-Jiu Jiang: 0-3
vs. Jujo Jiang: 0-1
vs. Ji Lie: 1-1
vs. Andy Liu: 0-1
vs. Yupei Xiong: 2-0
Total: 3-5

It's an interesting way to slice the data, Pwaldron, and there are cases where she plays some unusually low rated opponents (first round of the NAIM), but your approach seems like it could be misleading. Given her rating and overall negative record against the top ten, you can infer that she's mowing down lower ranked players at an unusually high rate. (Btw: sometimes that's "lower ranked" players like Eric Lui (2-0) and Zhaonian Chen (2-0) who'd both be seeded 6th in this tournament).
Or maybe I should just ask: what's Myungwan's actual win streak, 8 instead of 21?

Wow, that game went wrong early on. Check out the position at move 38, this looks like the 20.5-point trick joseki, and that against a 9p! Let's call this the 25.5-point trick joseki now
(I hope I counted correctly...)
