My favorite soccer player in Korea is Ji-sung Park. He was a hero during the 2002 Korea/Japan World Cup. He scored an important goal during the game versus Portugal in the Group D world cup match. His goal led to the South Korea victory, so the team went to quarter finals for the first time.
After the 2002 World Cup, Ji-sung Park became the first Korean to play in Premier League playing for Manchester United in England. Many Korean people are proud of him because he belongs to the most famous football club in the world.
His nick name is 'two hearts' because he runs a lot, so I hope to continuouly watch his energetic plays.
I wish I could have been in Korea for the 2002 World Cup. I just missed it because I came here in January 2003. It was still fun to cheer on Korea during the last World Cup in South Africa. I never knew Park Ji Sung's nickname until now! :-)
