• Keep. Easily notable and has GA potential as captain of the historic 1966 North Korean World Cup team, a recipient of the title People's Athlete (honoring the greatest North Korean sportspeople in history - [1] - satisfying WP:ANYBIO), being one of ~five players focused on in a full-length book in North Korea (ref 1), being considered a national sports hero (per The Game of Their Lives) and a very prominent member of the national team with freaking 97 caps.

  • Not only was a book covering him written in North Korea, but at the National Library of South Korea there's a 240-page book on Legend of Destiny: Shin Young-gyu and Park Seung-jin who wrote the myth of the 1966 England World Cup quarterfinals from 2020!
