Ahn Jung-hwan (Korean: 안정환; RR: An Jeong-hwan, Korean pronunciation: [an.dʑʌŋ.ɦwan] or [an] [tɕʌŋ.ɦwan]; born 27 January 1976) is a South Korean former football player and television personality. Ahn played for South Korea as a second striker and scored a total of three goals in two FIFA World Cups, including a golden goal against Italy. After his retirement as a footballer, he became a television host and a football commentator.[3]
Early life and Career[edit]
Ahn was selected for South Korean under-20 team for the 1994 AFC Youth Championship. Three years later, he also played the 1997 Summer Universiade for South Korean Universiade team, winning a silver medal.[1]
Despite his later success and fame, Ahn's early life was marked by hardship and poverty. After losing his father at a young age, he was raised by his grandmother in a shantytown, where he experienced hunger and resorted to stealing food and clothes to survive. He also collected leaflets and caught fish to resell for money, demonstrating resourcefulness and determination even as a child. Ahn's grandmother initially opposed his football aspirations, fearing it would worsen his hunger. However, he joined the school team for the provided snacks and discovered his talent. Despite facing bullying and hardship throughout his school years, he persevered, even working part-time jobs to support himself.[4][5]
Ahn's exceptional skills led him to Ajou University, where he decided to pursue a professional football career. His remarkable performance in a 1997 match secured his position in the Busan Daewoo Royals. Despite achieving professional success and demonstrating resilience and sportsmanship throughout his career, overcoming setbacks such as contract disputes and unpaid wages, Ahn continued to face financial struggles due to family debts, highlighting the lasting impact of his difficult upbringing.[6][7]
Style of play[edit]
A quick and energetic player, Ahn was primarily used as a second striker, but was versatile enough to play as an attacking midfielder, winger, or single striker. Despite his average height, one of his strongest abilities was his excellent positioning in the penalty box, allowing him to score numerous goals with his head. His diverse technical skills also enabled him to create goal-scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. Known for his combative nature on the pitch, Ahn often received yellow cards throughout his career. However, he was also renowned as a "super-sub," a player who could significantly impact the game when brought on as a substitute.
Club Career[edit]
Busan Daewoo Royals[edit]
In 1998, Ahn started his professional career in a K League club Busan Daewoo Royals. He was selected as one of the K League Best XI in that year after showing great performance as soon as he went there.[8] The next year, in 1999, he was named the K League Most Valuable Player by leading his team to finish as a runner-up in the K League.[9]
Loan to Perugia[edit]
In 2000, Ahn joined Perugia on loan, becoming the first South Korean footballer to play in Italy's Serie A. Despite facing challenges integrating into the team due to racism and limited playing time, Ahn made 30 appearances and scored five goals over two seasons.[10] He was often deployed as a substitute, yet he consistently demonstrated his impact on the pitch. Notably, he was named Man of the Match five times in his 30 appearances, a testament to his ability to change the course of a game despite limited minutes. His average match rating of 6.21 over two seasons also placed him among the top 25% of players in Serie A, further highlighting his effectiveness when given the opportunity.[11]
His time in Perugia was marked by his performance in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, where he scored a crucial golden goal against Italy, leading to their elimination. The following day, Perugia's owner, Luciano Gaucci, controversially terminated Ahn's contract, citing his goal and alleged negative comments about the Italian nation. This decision was widely condemned as discriminatory.[12]
Although Gaucci later retracted his decision and offered Ahn a permanent contract, Ahn refused, leading to a legal dispute with the club. After FIFA intervened, Ahn was required to pay Perugia a compensation fee, which he did with the help of a Japanese entertainment company. This incident led to Ahn spending the next three years playing in the J1 League.[13]
Ahn's experience in Perugia highlighted the challenges faced by Asian players in European football at the time, as well as the intersection of sports, politics, and national identity. His performances also garnered attention from other Serie A clubs, such as Udinese and Lazio, who expressed interest in signing him before the World Cup incident.[14]
Shimizu S-Pulse[edit]
In 2002, following a legal dispute with Perugia, Ahn joined Shimizu S-Pulse in the J1 League. Despite the circumstances surrounding his transfer, Ahn quickly adapted to Japanese football, scoring 7 goals in 15 appearances during his first season, including matches in the J.League Cup, Emperor's Cup, and AFC Champions League qualifiers.
Ahn continued his strong form in the 2003 season, becoming the club's top scorer with 19 goals in 39 appearances across all competitions. While Shimizu S-Pulse finished 11th in the league, Ahn's individual performances solidified his reputation as a talented striker and helped him regain his confidence after the tumultuous experience in Italy.
Yokohama F. Marinos[edit]
In 2004, Ahn transferred to Yokohama F. Marinos, the reigning J1 League champions. He quickly established himself as a key player, becoming the team's top scorer with 12 goals in 25 league appearances. His contributions helped Yokohama secure back-to-back league titles, defeating Urawa Red Diamonds in the championship playoffs.
Ahn's performance in 2004 was notable for his consistent goal-scoring ability, particularly in the first half of the season. However, a mid-season injury hampered his progress, and his overall impact on the team's success was somewhat limited by the presence of other players who also scored double-digit goals.
In 2005, Ahn continued his impressive form, scoring four goals in nine appearances before receiving an offer from FC Metz in Ligue 1, prompting his return to European football.
FC Metz[edit]
In July 2005, Ahn returned to Europe, signing a one-year contract with FC Metz in Ligue 1. He chose Metz despite receiving higher salary offers from other clubs, aiming to acclimate to European football ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted in Germany. However, Metz struggled throughout the season, finishing in 19th place and facing relegation. Ahn's individual performance was also limited, scoring two goals in 16 league appearances.
Despite the team's challenges and his own limited impact, Ahn's time at Metz allowed him to gain valuable experience in one of Europe's top leagues. His performances earned him a spot on the South Korean national team for the 2006 World Cup, where he scored a crucial goal against Togo.
MSV Duisburg[edit]
After a successful spell in Japan, Ahn returned to Europe to play for French Ligue 1 team Metz in July 2005 and scored two goals in 16 outings. In January 2006, Ahn was invited to train with Blackburn Rovers but twice failed to show up, one of the dates being his birthday. In February, he secured a 17-month deal with a Bundesliga club MSV Duisburg to adapt to the environment of Germany, the host of the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[15]
Ahn scored two goals in 12 outings, and his club was relegated from the Bundesliga. He was interested in a move to Heart of Midlothian of the Scottish Premier League, but it fell through.[16]
Ahn was selected for the South Korean squad for the 2006 World Cup. He scored the winning goal after coming off the bench during the second half of the South Korean opening match, where they beat Togo 2–1. Thus, he became the Asian all-time scoring leader at the World Cup with three goals. He was released by Duisburg after the World Cup, and returned to South Korea, joining Suwon Samsung Bluewings on a one-year deal in January 2007.
Suwon Samsung Bluewings[edit]
In January 2007, Ahn returned to the K League, joining Suwon Samsung Bluewings. He initially showed promise, scoring a hat-trick in a League Cup match against Daejeon Citizen. However, his performance declined, and he was left out of the national team for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.
During his time at Suwon, Ahn was involved in a controversial incident where he was verbally abused by FC Seoul fans, leading to a confrontation and his subsequent ejection from the match. This incident sparked widespread condemnation of the fans' behavior and further cemented Ahn's status as a beloved figure in Korean football.
Ahn's stint at Suwon was ultimately underwhelming, scoring five goals in 26 appearances across all competitions. He left the club at the end of the season and returned to his former club, Busan IPark.
Busan IPark[edit]
In 2008, Ahn returned to his former club, now known as Busan IPark. He regained his form, playing primarily as an attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Ahn's performance was praised for his playmaking abilities and vision, although some criticized his tendency to hold onto the ball for too long. Despite his contributions, Busan struggled and finished in a disappointing position.
At the end of the season, Ahn became a free agent. Although Busan expressed interest in re-signing him, negotiations broke down over salary disagreements. Ahn subsequently left the club and joined Dalian Shide in the Chinese Super League.
Dalian Shide[edit]
In 2009, Ahn joined Chinese Super League side Dalian Shide on a three-month contract, which was later extended until the end of the 2010 season. He experienced a resurgence in form, becoming a key player for the club and earning the nickname "King of Dalian" from local fans. In his first season, Ahn scored six goals and provided two assists in 26 appearances, showcasing his continued ability to contribute offensively.[17]
Ahn's success continued in the 2010 season, where he scored 10 goals and provided four assists in 20 appearances, despite playing primarily as a midfielder. His performances helped Dalian Shide reach third place in the league standings and contend for a spot in the AFC Champions League. However, a knee injury sidelined Ahn for several matches, and the team's form dipped, ultimately finishing in sixth place. Despite this setback, Ahn was recognized as one of the top foreign players in the league.
Ahn re-signed with Dalian Shide for the 2011 season, but his playing time decreased, and his impact on the team diminished. He made 15 appearances, scoring two goals, before announcing his retirement from professional football in January 2012.
International Career[edit]
Ahn represented South Korea at various levels of international competition, starting with the AFC U-20 Asian Cup in 1994. He went on to represent the senior national team in several major tournaments, rising to international prominence with goals against the United States and Italy in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. His golden goal in extra time against Italy in the round of 16 propelled South Korea to the quarterfinals, the first Asian team to reach that stage since North Korea in 1966. In the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he scored the winning goal against Togo in the group stage, becoming the all-time leading Asian goal scorer in the World Cup with three goals. He was named the official Man of the Match for that game. Although he was included in the final squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he did not play in any matches.
AFC U-20 Asian Cup[edit]
2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup[edit]
2002 FIFA World Cup[edit]
Ahn emerged as a key player for South Korea in the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Despite initial doubts from national team coach Guus Hiddink, Ahn proved his worth with impressive performances in pre-tournament friendlies, including a two-goal, one-assist game against Scotland. In the group stage, Ahn scored a crucial equalizer against the United States, securing South Korea's first point in the tournament. He continued to start in the following matches, showcasing his offensive prowess. In the Round of 16 match against Italy, Ahn missed an early penalty but later scored a dramatic golden goal in extra time, securing South Korea's historic advancement to the quarterfinals. This goal is considered one of the most iconic moments in Korean football history. Ahn continued to start in the quarterfinal and semi-final matches, battling through rough play from opponents and contributing to South Korea's remarkable run to the semi-finals. In the third-place match against Turkey, Ahn scored a goal that was disallowed due to an offside call, highlighting his consistent attacking threat. Although South Korea ultimately finished fourth, Ahn's contributions throughout the tournament solidified his status as a national hero and a key figure in the country's football history.

Retirement[edit]
Ahn scored a hat trick in a 2007 Korean League Cup game against Daejeon Citizen. However, his struggles continued, leading to his exclusion from the national team for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.[18]
In 2008, Ahn returned to Busan IPark (formerly Busan Daewoo Royals). He steadily improved his game and overall performance, earning a recall to the national team for the first time in 22 months for the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifications match against Jordan.[19]
In March 2009, Ahn signed a three-month contract with Chinese Super League side Dalian Shide. He became a key player for the club and extended his contract until December 2010. He was promoted to Dalian's captain for the 2010 season.
Ahn officially announced his retirement on 30 January 2012.[20][21] He had a formal retirement ceremony on February 29, 2012, during the final match of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Asian third round qualifier against Kuwait. South Korea won the match 2-0 with goals from Lee Dong-gook and Lee Keun-ho. Notably, Ahn became the first player to have a retirement ceremony during a World Cup qualifier, rather than a friendly match.[22]
Personal life[edit]
Ahn, who married former Miss Korea Lee Hye-won[23] in 2001, is often referred to as 'The Lord of the Ring' by Korean fans due to his iconic 'Ring kiss' celebration, a gesture dedicated to his wife that he performed after scoring goals. This celebration became a national sensation during the 2002 FIFA World Cup, further solidifying his status as a beloved figure in Korean football.[24]
Other than football, Ahn is noted for his model-like looks and has appeared in numerous make-up ads.[25]
Philanthropy[edit]
On February 22, 2023, Ahn donated 100 million won, the proceeds from his YouTube channel 'Ahn Jung-hwan 19'[26], to Save the Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children in need.[27] Ahn is known for donating all proceeds from his YouTube channel to charitable causes, with total donations exceeding 300 million won.[28] While playing for Dalian Shide in China, he also donated a portion of his salary to orphanages and children's hospitals, demonstrating his empathy for those facing challenges similar to his own childhood.[29]
Post-football career[edit]
After retiring from professional football, Ahn transitioned into a successful career in broadcasting and entertainment. He has been a prominent football commentator and has hosted various television shows, including popular variety programs. In 2021, he co-founded the Moongchin Project (MCP) agency, further expanding his influence beyond the football field.[30]
Ahn was one of the carriers of the Olympic flame at the opening of the 2018 Winter Olympics.[31]
Football Commentator[edit]
Ahn began his career as a football commentator in 2014, signing an exclusive contract with MBC. He aimed to provide insightful commentary based on his experience as a professional player, offering explanations that would be easily understood by viewers of all ages and genders.[32]
He has since served as a commentator for numerous major international football tournaments, including:
