He was called the "Korean Gerd Müller" due to his scoring ability, and contributed to South Korea's gold medal in the 1986 Asian Games. His right eye was injured in 1987, but his blindness wasn't enough to stop his performance. He became the top goalscorer in the 1988 AFC Asian Cup, and participated in the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
