 * Keep. The starting goalkeeper of the historic 1966 North Korean World Cup team. Source three states that his life story is chronicled in-depth in the book 동방의　첫　축구강국; he is also known to have been featured in the documentary The Game of Their Lives, which is also highly likely significant coverage. There's also a significant source I located here from NK Chosun, which notes among other things that he later was the head coach of the national team that competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics. He also frequently seems to be mentioned in articles regarding the team and NK football, e.g. and . We also need to take into consideration how outrageously difficult it is to find coverage on historic North Koreans. We have a decent bit of coverage, know more exists, and know that through his "spectacular saves" (per mentioned Telegraph source) the North Korea team was able to produce one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. This should be kept. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
