International career

Byun played for the South Korea national football team in 1986 and 1990 FIFA World Cup, but South Korea failed to win a victory in the two World Cups. He said he was being inconvenienced by hitting Bulgaria's goalpost with his shot, which could have earned South Korea's first-ever World Cup victory if successful.[1]

Byun scored South Korea's second goal, helping his team defeat Saudi Arabia 2–0 in the 1986 Asian Games final.

Byun scored with a Panenka against Antonín Panenka's country Czechoslovakia in a penalty shoot-out of the 1988 Korea Cup semi-finals.[2]

Style of play

Nicknamed the "Bullet" in South Korea, Byun showed fast dribbles and accurate crosses.[3] He was an important winger for South Korea at the time, although he was criticized for his monotonous pattern.[4]
