Who is the most famous Korean athlete in Japan?

Question:

Those who played sports in Japan. Like Rikidozan(pro wrestler), Sun Dong Yul(baseball), Hong Myung Bo(soccer), etc...

Answer:

Park Ji-Sung. Hands down. He's a god.

Sun Dong Yul has already gone into oblivion, and I bet young generations don't know who he is.

Sorry but it struck me as kind of odd that you named Like Rikidozen here, because many Japanese recognized him as Japanese from what I know. Not that he's not famous. Maybe he's the most famous, esp for older generations. He's a former sumo wrestler, JFYI.


Exactly. He was nobody while playing in Japan. But now he has the highest respect from all the Japanese playing football.
