Timeline
Song Chong-gug (송종국; born 20 February 1979) is a retired South Korean footballer who played as a defender or midfielder.
In June 2000, Song made his international debut against Macedonia under Huh Jung-moo when he was a university student.
In 2001, Song started his professional career in a K League club Busan I'Cons after graduating from Yonsei University.
He was named the K League Rookie of the Year in his first season.
Guus Hiddink, the new manager of the South Korean national team, quickly chose him as a member of the World Cup team, and tested him in various midfield and defensive positions.
He received the right back position after performing multiple roles.
At international level, he represented the South Korea national football team at the 2002 and 2006 FIFA World Cup.
While South Korea finished the 2002 FIFA World Cup in fourth place, Song was the only outfield player of the South Korean team to play all of 687 minutes in seven matches.
He also nullified Luís Figo perfectly by blocking all twelve of his dribbles without a concession, making a memorable match against Portugal.
He sometimes talks about his experience in marking Figo when appearing on South Korean TV programs.
After the 2002 World Cup, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal approached Busan I'Cons to get Song, but Busan intentionally delayed the contracts in order to keep him.
He strongly expressed his intention to move to a European club by moving his belongings out of the club after his deals with Premier League clubs were scuttled.
He eventually joined an Eredivisie club Feyenoord.
He made 56 appearances including UEFA Champions League games for Feyenoord in two seasons under Bert van Marwijk.
However, his form regressed due to his ankle injuries, and he completely lost his place in the squad after Van Marwijk was replaced by Ruud Gullit.
In 2003, Song married Kim Jung-ah to the surprise of many of his fans after dating Kim since April 2001.
Before the marriage, he had been linked with multiple celebrities including Lee Jin, a member of a Korean girl band Fin.K.L.
He presented a bigger surprise three years later by getting divorced.
Song returned to South Korea to play for Suwon Samsung Bluewings after leaving Feyenoord in January 2005.
In October 2005, he injured his ankle again, and eventually underwent an operation.
He came back to the field after five months, but his ability was largely debased as compared with the past.
He was selected for the national team for the 2006 FIFA World Cup despite concern about his condition, and played the first group match against Togo.
He successfully obstructed Emmanuel Adebayor, and assisted South Korea's winning goal.
He showed his worth better than expected, but he was excluded from the subsequent games by the manager Dick Advocaat.
Song became Suwon's key player after the 2006 World Cup, and received the armband in 2008.
On 17 December 2006, he married an actress and model Park Yun-soo after an 18-month relationship.
The wedding was held privately in front of 100 family and friends.
Song became a father six months after the wedding.
He scored the winning goal in the 2008 K League Championship final, leading his team to the league title.
Song played for Al-Shabab, Ulsan Hyundai, and Tianjin Teda after leaving Suwon in the summer of 2010.
He was released by Tianjin at the end of the 2011 season, and announced his retirement in March 2012.
In October 2015, however, Song once again divorced his wife.
In September 2021, Song signed with DH Entertainment.
