Heo Sun-haeng (27, Suwon Special City Hall) is on the 7th flower kiln.

Heo Sun-haeng defeated Lee Eun-soo (Yeongam-gun Folk Wrestling Team) 3-0 in the Taebaek Jangsa decider (best out of five games) held at Taean Indoor Gymnasium in Taean-gun, Chungcheongnam-do on the 15th and won the 7th Jangsakkama.

Heo Sun-haeng, who unfortunately finished second after losing to Lee Kwang-seok (Ulju County Office) in the Taebaek Jangsa decider during the 2025 Lunar New Year's Day competition, won the Taebaek Jangsa title for the first time in a year with this victory to relieve the revenge of the previous competition.

Heo Sun-haeng also settled in the final without giving up points against Hong Seung-chan (Mungyeong City Hall) and Yoon Pil-jae (Uiseong County Office), who met in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively.

The momentum continued in the decision match with Lee Eun-soo, who is trying to do his first business in his life. Heo Seon-haeng won the second round first with a toss-up and a field-breaker, firmly gaining the upper hand. In the third edition, Heo Seon-haeng also confirmed the business by lifting and flipping.

In an interview after the game, Heo Sun-haeng said, "I prepared without regret, but I'm happy to get a good result," adding, "I always thought that injury was a process of playing, so I kept practicing to overcome it without giving up even if I was sick when training."

He then thanked Lee Choong-yup, coach Lim Tae-hyuk, and Mayor Lee Jae-joon of Suwon Special City Hall.

Heo Seon-seon said, "Thank you to the fans who always support and love us. I wish you a happy new year, and I will try to become a player who can show good performance in the future," he said with strength.
