OK Financial Group announced on the 20th that the OK Eutman Rugby Team (hereinafter referred to as Eutman Rugby Team), which is on an overseas training schedule in Japan, conducted a rugby class for students at Geumgang School on the 19th.
About 90 elementary school students in the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades participated in this rugby class. The players of the ᅳᆺman rugby team worked with the students of Geumgang School by conducting basic rugby skills, 'Tag Rugby' education and simple mini-games, where they run and try with the ball without physical struggle.
This is not the first meeting between the Eutman rugby team and the Geumgang School students. The ᅳᆺman rugby team hosted a two-day rugby and volleyball class with the OK Savings Bank ᅳᆺman professional volleyball team in 2023 to form a relationship with Geumgang School, and reunited with Geumgang School students after more than two years.
The ᅳᆺman rugby team, which participated in such a meaningful event during the overseas training schedule, is sweating to perform well in the tournament in the first half of 2025. The ᅳᆺman rugby team, which has been training in Osaka, Japan since the 10th, is focusing on developing its technical capabilities and enhancing its sense of practice. The ᅳᆺman rugby team plans to conduct joint training with Japan's Setnan University on the 20th, and will also play a test match against the NTT DoCoMo Red Hurricanes of Japan's Rugby League One Division 2 on the 21st.
Under the full support of OK Financial Group Chairman Choi Yoon, the Eutman rugby team, which has continued to grow since turning into an unemployed team in 2023, is aiming to add a trophy in 2025. In 2024, the 105th National Sports Festival, the rugby team won silver medals in the general division of rugby, beating the existing business powerhouses, and also ranked second in the world-class entertainment service `Netflix'Entertainment 'Strongest Rugby: Die or Win', emerging as an emerging rugby powerhouse. The ᅳᆺman rugby team is determined to continue its rise in 2025, the third year of the transition to an unemployment team, and add a championship cup.
Meanwhile, Geumgang School, where the Eutman Rugby Team served as a daily teacher, is one of the only four overseas Korean schools in Japan along with Kyoto International High School, which won the Koshien title last year. It was built in 1946 by the first generation of Koreans in Japan to provide a place for national education for descendants of Koreans in Japan, and was officially approved by the Korean government in 1961.
