@Simione001: How do you know he fails GNG? Did you look at even a single North Korean news source from the time? I mean, he's top 15 all-time in caps and football is well-covered in North Korea. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:19, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or Draftify. From a quick look, there appears to be a decent claim to notability, such as, as mentioned above, being top 15 all-time in caps; scoring the winning goal in the historic 1991 North-South Korean unification match (which still is covered to this day); and per [1] receiving the honor of People's Athlete, the highest achievement in North Korean sports which is a pass of WP:ANYBIO. Like I have for other North Korean footballers, if draftified (or kept) I'll turn it into something decent. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Beanie, good arguments re:People's Athlete honour. Giant Snowman 18:23, 11 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Per above. Svartner (talk) 09:42, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify, or Keep if draftify doesn't seem reasonable to others. I think it passes notability from the arguments above, but the article needs to be improved. --Brocade River Poems (She/They) 08:13, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
