This is a Korean name; the family name is Park.

Born in Suyu-dong, the slum of Seoul, he had liked art originally, but changed his career path to be a footballer because of the monetary problem when he became a high school student.[3] He spent his club career for Hanyang University and Pohang Steelworks, and won three titles in the K League. He was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1988 K League, but he thought that Lee Kee-keun, his teammate, should deserve the award. He wanted to return the prize, but the K League federation rejected this. He played for the South Korea national team for 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cup, and won the 1986 Asian Games with the national team. In 1993, he announced his retirement and left for England to study abroad. He also played for an English semi-professional club Yeading for a time, and became the first South Korean player who appeared in the English FA Cup.[4][5]

In 2013, K League federation selected him as the right back of the K League 30th Anniversary Legends Best XI.[2]
