Playing career

As the captain of the Ajou University soccer team, he won the 1997 National University Football League Fall Championship and was named the tournament MVP.[3] After receiving attention through this tournament, he joined Daewoo Royals (now Busan I'Park), the parent company of Ajou University.
His first season with the Daewoo Royals (now Busan I'Park) was a difficult one for him. He couldn't play a single game due to injuries.[4] After returning from injury in 1999, he was recognized as an important player by interim manager Chang Woe-ryong in the second half of the season, and played a key role. He played 20 games in the season, mainly as a right-back.
In 2000, he was recognized for his skills and signed a new contract with a signing bonus of 60 million won and an annual salary of 24 million won, but he was injured again and only played in 4 league games.
From 2001 to 2007, he played excellent as a fullback and wingback under several Korean coaches with good skills. In 2008, he was appointed as the captain as the most veteran player of the team under coach Hwang Sun-hong. However, towards the end of the first half of the season, he suffered a serious injury and it became difficult for him to continue playing.
In 2009, he ended his career as a player with a retirement ceremony at Busan I-Park Stadium.
