Who is Pak Seung-Zin?
Pak Seung-Zin was a North Korean footballer. He represented North Korea at the 1966 FIFA World Cup in England, scoring two goals, against Chile and Portugal.
After the World Cup, he was reportedly imprisoned for 12 years in the Yodok concentration camp for allegedly celebrating the team's victory over Italy in a bar, which was seen as "a sign of bourgeois decadence" by North Korean officials, although this is little more than rumor, and has been denied by the players themselves.
