OK Eatman Rugby Team is engaging with fans through various viewing certification events alongside their first tournament participation in 2025.
OK Financial Group announced that from the 18th to the 29th, they will conduct a viewing certification event for the matches of the OK Eatman Rugby Team in the '39th Chungmugi National Rugby Championship (hereinafter Chungmugi Rugby Tournament)' held at JINDO Public Sports Center.
This event is planned to connect with the increased number of OK Eatman Rugby Team fans and to maintain interest in Korean rugby, following their runner-up achievement on the popular entertainment service 'Netflix,' with the reality show 'The Strongest Rugby: Fight or Win.'
The OK Eatman Rugby Team will begin its match against Korea Electric Power Corporation on the 18th (Tuesday) at 3:45 p.m., followed by matches against POSCO E&C on the 24th (Monday) at 2 p.m. and Hyundai GLOVIS on the 29th (Saturday) at 1:15 p.m. All these matches will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of the Korea Rugby Association. Fans can participate by watching the live broadcasts of all three matches and posting their views on the official SNS of the OK Eatman Rugby Team through the QR code or link shared during the broadcasts. Prizes such as replica jerseys, cheering scarves, custom coffee gift sets, and Mediheal cosmetic sets will be awarded to fans participating in the attendance check event through a drawing.
In addition to the viewing certification attendance check event, there will also be an event to guess the first scorer of the match. Participants can enter by following the official SNS of the OK Eatman Rugby Team and commenting on the post with their guess about who will be the first scorer in each match. Prizes such as keyring sets and Mediheal gift sets will be awarded to winners chosen by drawing.
Information to encourage participation in the event will also be available. The list of OK Eatman Rugby Team players, explanations of rugby positions, types of scores, and simple rugby rules will be uploaded on the official SNS of the OK Eatman Rugby Team.
An official of the OK Eatman Rugby Team noted, "Last year, we received more love from fans than ever before through various entertainment platforms. We hope to receive continued interest and support from fans starting with this year's first tournament. We will do our best to help rugby get closer to fans and to be loved."
Meanwhile, after finishing as runner-up in 'The Strongest Rugby: Fight or Win' last year, and securing a silver medal in the rugby general category at the 105th National Sports Festival, the OK Eatman Rugby Team is determined to continue their upward momentum from last year starting from their first tournament in 2025. Having gained practical experience through training in Japan last February and strengthened their squad with new foreign player acquisitions, they are aiming to challenge for their first victory right from the inaugural tournament in 2025.
