The hot competition between Korea University and Yonsei University is especially drawing attention as Netflix entertainment show `The Strongest Rugby: Die or Win' has found viewers focusing on games and fierce competition with each team's personality.

'Strongest Rugby: Die or Win' is a sports survival entertainment show that shows the real game of rugby players who continue their desperate advances by throwing their whole bodies for the glory of victory.

On the morning of the 5th, a production presentation of the Netflix entertainment show `The Greatest Rugby: Die or Win' was held at CGV I'Park Mall in Yongsan, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Producer Jang Si-won, director of the production, announcer Jung Yong-gum, Korea Electric Power Corporation Na Kwan-young, Hyundai Glovis Jeong Yeon-sik, POSCO E&C Oh Ji-myung, OK E-Men Rugby Team Lee Yong-woon, Korea University Kim Won-joo and Yonsei University Seo Woo-hyun attended the meeting. Choi Ho-young, an athlete from the South Korean military athletic unit, was unfortunately unable to attend the scene.



Among the seven national teams, Korea University and Yonsei University are the only teams composed of school students and are competing with each other for a long time. Korea University's Kim Won-joo smiled, saying, `We shouldn't even lose rock-paper-scissors to the next generation.' He "I haven't lost to Yonsei since I entered the school. I think rugby is always superior to Yonsei University," he said, expressing his pride as a college rugby powerhouse.

Yonsei University's Seo Woo-hyun appeared on the program to catch Korea University. Although his performance has not been good so far, he made a strong determination to change the atmosphere through this Netflix.



Each team's personality also stood out. Oh Ji-myung of POSCO E&C said, `Teamwork is the most important sport among ball games in rugby. He stressed that our team's strength is a well-organized organization centered on the coach." Na Kwan-young, a Korean Electric Power Corporation player who boasts the most production and most wins for the national team, said "Our team is a veteran team composed of veterans. The strength is the experience and stability that contrasts with other teams that are younger." Hyundai Glovis player Jeong Yeon-sik said "Our team's unity is key. Everyone has to come together as a team to win the game" he said.

Korea University's Kim Won-joo said, `I wanted to show an intense and passionate side with a mindset of dying or living.' Yonsei University's Seo Woo-hyun said, `Our team played in the game by helping each other with hot energy like college students," he said.
