He replaced Kim Byung-ji as first choice goalkeeper under the previous national coach Huh Jung-moo. Regarded as a solid if unspectacular keeper, his consistency saw him maintain his position in the starting line-up despite the emergence of Kim Yong-Dae.

He played in all seven of Korea's games in the 2002 World Cup finals.
