Ulsan National University won two weight classes in the individual competition of the university department at the Samcheok National University Master's Wrestling Competition.

Ulsan University (Ulsan Metropolitan City), led by head coach Joo Myung-chan, recaptured the top of the two weight classes in the university's individual competition at the 2026 Samcheok National University Master's Ssireum Competition at Samcheok Gymnasium in Gangwon State on the 8th. Lee Yong-soo (less than 80kg) and Park Joo-hwan (less than 90kg) won the title, respectively.

Lee Yong-soo, who played in the finals at the major level, got off to a shaky start by giving up the first round against Sung Min-soo (Dankook University), but later won two consecutive games with his main specialty, Deulbaegi, to win a 2-1 come-from-behind victory. Lee Yong-soo, who won four major titles last year, also proved to be the strongest in weight class by winning the gold medal in the first competition in 2026.

In the long-range final, Park Joo-hwan overwhelmed Lee Do-hee (Gyeongnam University) with a two-and-a-half and a japchae to confirm the victory with a 2-0 complete victory.

There was a close race in other weight classes as well. Kim Byung-hee (Hallim University) of the Gyeongjang class (under 75kg) enjoyed the joy of winning his first university individual competition by winning a come-from-behind victory over Park Hyun-woo (Dankook University). In the final of the Youngnam University (85kg or less), Ha Sang-won beat Kim Nam-woo 2-0 to win the gold medal.

In addition, Kim Min-kyu (under 95kg), Kim Min-kyu (Dong-A University), Lee Jae-woong (under 105kg), and Kim Dae-il (Dankook University) were ranked as the business by weight class, respectively.
