[edit] Biography

Jong is a third generation North Korean who was born in Nagoya, Japan to second generation South Korean parents with South Korean citizenship. His mother identified herself as a North Korean and sent him to attend a private school in Japan run by Chongryon, a group closely tied to the North Korean government[4] – where he started football at its elementary school club. He later attended Korea University, a private university in Tokyo also funded by Chongryon.[4]

Jong later tried to trade his South Korean citizenship for a North Korean citizenship, despite the fact that he has never lived in North Korea. The South Korean government officially does not recognize North Korea as a country and also does not allow dual citizenship in the case of adult citizens and hence Jong was unable to give up his citizenship. Chongryon, North Korea's de facto embassy in Japan, issued a North Korean passport to him. This made him eligible, per FIFA rules, to play for the North Korean team. As noted from Jong's documentary from South Korean television SBS, Jong officially only holds South Korean citizenship, but has a North Korean passport.

Jong publicly emphasized of the separation between sportsmanship and politics after the disputes before and during the match between North Korea and Japan on 15 November 2011.[5]

[edit] Club career

After joining Kawasaki Frontale in 2006, the striker quickly rose to become one of Kawasaki's best players and one of the best strikers in the J-League.[6] Jong went for a trial with English club Blackburn Rovers in early 2010.[6][7] After the 2010 World Cup, Jong joined German club VfL Bochum.[8] After one and half seasons in the 2. Bundesliga, Jong transferred to 1. FC Köln following an injury to German international Lukas Podolski.[9]

[edit] International career

Jong's first international appearance was on 19 June 2007, during a 2008 East Asian Football Championship qualifier match against Mongolia and he scored his first international goal in that game. He went on to score a total of four goals which Korea DPR won the match 7–0. Jong also played at the 2008 East Asian Football Championship and scored two goals in three matches for Korea DPR, receiving top scorer honors along with Park Chu-Young, Yeom Ki-Hun and Koji Yamase. Jong is known for crying when the North Korean national anthem is played before a match, most notably when Korea DPR played their first game of the 2010 World Cup against Brazil.[10]

Jong also played at 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification in Asia and contributed to secure a World Cup berth, the first in 44 years, for the Korea DPR national team. Jong played in Korea DPR's first game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, against Brazil, and set up for Ji Yun-Nam to score the Koreans' goal in a 2–1 defeat.[3][11]
