A new crop of emerging South Korean soccer (football) players have followed in the footsteps of Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung and have broken into top flight European football clubs.
Chu-Young Park has been a regular starter for the French Ligue club AS Monaco for the past two years. Park has a tally of eight goals and eight assists on a team that's competing for the top spot in the league. At the age of 24, it's likely that Park will be pursued by other top European clubs as he continues to play well.
In the English Premier League, the Bolton Wanderer's had signed Chung-Yong Lee at the age of 21. Like Park, Lee plays either striker or wing midfielder and has already scored two goals in five appearances for his club.
