In the 117th minute against Italy in Daejeon on 18 June 2002, he met Lee Young-pyo's cross with his head and sent the co-hosts into the quarter-finals, and Perugia terminated his contract the following day. Fourth place at that World Cup and selection in its All-Star team stand alongside the J1 League he won with Yokohama F. Marinos in 2004, the 1999 K League MVP award, and another World Cup goal against Togo in 2006. Career record: 71 caps and 17 goals for South Korea; club career at Busan IPark, Shimizu S-Pulse, Dalian Shide.
