## Bio

Pak Chol-jin was part of North Korea's 23-man roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, held from 11 June to 11 July in South Africa. The squad was finalized by the 1 June deadline after being cut down from a preliminary list of 30 named by 11 May. North Korea's team stood out at that tournament: it was the only nation with just a single player from a European club, Hong Yong-jo, while the rest of the roster drew from domestic leagues. The tournament marked a rare World Cup appearance for the isolated nation on football's biggest stage.
