Suwon City Hall's Lim Jae-min Claims Second Career Taebaek Jangsa Title at Chuseok Wrestling Tournament

Lim Jae-min of Suwon City Hall has claimed his second career Taebaek Jangsa title at the Withus Jeju 2026 Goesan Chuseok Jangsa Ssireum Tournament.

Today (Oct. 8), in the Taebaek class (80 kg or under) final (best-of-five) held at the Goesan Culture and Physical Center in Chungcheongbuk-do, Lim won the championship via a default win after taking the first two bouts against his teammate Heo Seon-haeng of Suwon City Hall.

Having secured his very first Taebaek Jangsa title at the previous Mungyeong Omija Tournament, Lim topped the podium in two consecutive competitions, grabbing his second Jangsa title of his career.

Lim knocked down Heo Seon-haeng with a push-out in the first bout of the final and succeeded with a twist-down in the second bout to take a 2-0 lead.

In the third bout, Heo, who had continued to play despite an injury, ultimately gave up the match, confirming Lim's victory.
