Kim Byung-ji (born 8 April 1970) is a former football goalkeeper who played for the South Korean National Team as well as several clubs in both the South Korean K League Classic and Challenge leagues respectively. Kim is known for dyeing his hair in different colours, and is also renowned for his erratic play; having once travelled the length of the field and scored during a K-league match. He was in the South Korea National Team squad for both the 1998 FIFA World Cup and the 2002 FIFA World Cup, rivalling Lee Woon-jae for the goalkeeping position in 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Kim announced his retirement from professional football on July 19, 2016, signalling the end of a career that spanned 24 years. Having made his debut in 1992 with Ulsan Hyundai, Kim would go on to play a total of 706 professional games over the span of his career, including 61 caps for South Korea. Kim celebrated his 700th appearance by donning the number 700 jersey for Jeonnam Dragons in a home win against Jeju United on July 26, 2015. As well as holding the record for the most consecutive appearances in the K-League, Kim also became the oldest player to have played in the league in November 2014.[1]
