Ahn Jung-hwan
Place of Birth: Paju, Gyeonggi
Date of Birth: January 27th, 1976
Position: Forward
Clubs: Yokohama F. Marinos, Perugia
In the summer of 2002 Ahn Jung-hwan was one of the biggest names in football. In September 2002, he joined Shimuzu S-Pulse then in January 2004, J-League Champions Yokohama Marinos snapped up the Korean star on a one-year contract.
Ahn started only one of Korea's four games in China, the opening goalless draw with Jordan. Subsequently, Ahn was reduced to a role that was uncomfortably familiar to him: as a substitute.
Ahn’s 'meterosexual' image and good looks have helped to make him wildly popular in Korea but it is a double-edged sword, drawing criticism that he is more concerned with commercials than footballs. It is true that his face can often be seen on billboards and newspapers in Korea but the fact remains that Ahn Jung-hwan still is one of the few Korean players who can do something out of the ordinary.
On the 16th of January 2006 Ahn was invited to train with Blackburn Rovers but failed to show up.
