International career

Kim has played on nine occasions for the North Korean national team since his first appearance in 2003,[1] and has been called up to their 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[3] Nevertheless, he was registered as one of the three goalkeepers as all the squads must nominate three eligible keepers for the tournament. Coach Kim Jong-hun did this to boost his attacking options, but FIFA revealed that Kim would only be allowed to play as a goalkeeper, and not as an outfield player as had originally been intended.[4] It has also been reported that he actually played as a goalkeeper for his club at least once, showing skills especially in saving penalties.[5]

gollark: The main issue is still billing for it, I think; do you charge the person who *created* a trusted script per invocation/by resource use somehow (and risk possible denial of service against a script by spamming it with transactions - not sure if this is actually a problem since it would be costly), or do you charge fees to the person invoking it (which is an issue as krist is not that divisible)?
gollark: No. Also, I reserve the right to not actually do this due to anything whatsoever.
gollark: Well, it could be launched separately and run along with krist if it was popular enough.
gollark: This isn't a suggestion for a krist feature, it could be run separately.
gollark: That has possibly problematic connotations.
