Imsil-gun Gains Spotlight as Ssireum Training Camp Location

[Imsil=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] The Ssireum arena in Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, is rapidly emerging as a popular training site for summer training teams.

The county announced on the 3rd that in the first week of this month, six teams including Howon University will conduct training, and in the second week, six teams including Chilbo Middle School will also carry out training.

Inquiries from nationwide university and middle/high school Ssireum teams about whether they can use the Imsil-gun Ssireum arena as a training site have been increasing, making it a highly regarded place for Ssireum training.

The reason why Ssireum teams from across the country are visiting the county for training this year is that the Ssireum arena was completed in 2020, enabling efficient training.

The Ssireum arena, located near the Imsil-gun Sports Complex, covers 322㎡ including an outdoor Ssireum ring and an indoor practice area, and is equipped with convenience facilities such as a gym nearby, providing athletes with an environment conducive to focused training.

As the number of training teams visiting the region increases, it is expected to greatly benefit local businesses such as lodging facilities and restaurants in Imsil-gun.

Riding this trend, the county is actively promoting the construction of an additional Ssireum arena and plans to pay special attention to administrative support to ensure that Ssireum athletes coming from outside for training do not experience any inconvenience.

County Governor Shim Min said, “We sincerely welcome all Ssireum teams visiting the county,” and added, “We will do our best to help athletes train in the best possible condition.”
