Kim Shin-wook's career is defined by an exceptional record of winning. He lifted the AFC Champions League twice, in 2010 and 2016, a feat few Korean strikers have matched.

His 56 international caps and 16 goals place him among the most productive forwards of his generation.What set Kim apart was his ability to rise to the occasion in big matches. His aerial presence made him a nightmare for defenders, and his leadership on the pitch earned him respect from teammates and opponents alike. His legacy is not just the trophies, but the consistency and professionalism he brought to every club he represented.
