Cho Eunso, who is the national U23 representative in the 59kg category, followed up her KBS Cup victory with another championship win, showing she has fully adapted to the senior level and emerging as Korea’s top female wrestling prospect.


GH President Kim Yongjin stated, “I am truly proud of the team, who have worked so hard in preparation for this competition.” He added, “GH will continue systematic support for our athletes’ growth and will do our utmost in various ways to ensure that women's wrestling—which receives little attention—can gain more popularity and advance further among the public.”



Meanwhile, on the 29th, GH dispatched its official women’s wrestling supporters’ group “Go Heroes,” consisting of employees from various divisions, to the venue to cheer on the team, attracting attention for their enthusiastic support. Established last year and now in its second term, the 34-member supporters group held a kick-off ceremony with the athletes on the 22nd to promote the team's ongoing growth. “Go Heroes” is a symbolic presence that fosters unity and cohesion within GH and works to revitalize organizational culture through sports cheering activities.
