He received various seasonal awards by being named the Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, top assist provider, and five-time Best XI winner, while spending his entire professional career at POSCO Atoms. He is also the first-ever player in the K League to score 30 goals and provide 30 assists. He helped POSCO Atoms win three K League titles.
