Ji Yun-Nam (Korean: 지윤남; Hancha: 志尹南; born 20 November 1976) is a North Korean international footballer, who currently plays for April 25 in the DPR Korea League.
International career
Ji has appeared for the Korea DPR national football team in eight FIFA World Cup qualifying matches.[1] Primarily a central defensive midfield, Ji plays in the left-back position for the national team.
On 15 June 2010, he scored against Brazil in the 2010 FIFA World Cup group stage encounter between the highest ranked and the lowest ranked qualified teams at the finals. Brazil ended up winning the game 2–1.[2]
Following the Brazil / Korea DPR game, players exchanged shirts and, much to the admiration of the South Korean media, Ji revealed a lean and muscular physique. This generated the affectionate nickname "The Peoples' Six-pack".[3]
