Park Yi-young (; born 29 June 1994) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Philippines Football League (PFL) club Kaya-Iloilo.[1]
Park was going to join a university, but he left for the Philippines after hearing the news that Philippine football clubs were recruiting South Korean based players. In 2013, he joined Team Socceroo, a team of Philippine second division, and contributed to their league title. The next year, he scored five goals and provided six assists during 21 games in the first division.
Park moved to Pachanga Diliman in July 2014 and participated in friendly games after the league season ended.[2]
In 2015, Park was eliminated from tryouts for Marítimo and Teplička nad Váhom, challenging Europe, but succeeded in joining St. Pauli. He established himself as the first team's right back in the second half of the 2017–18 season. On 6 May 2018, he scored the crucial winning goal against Arminia Bielefeld which prevented his team's relegation.[3] In August 2018, he agreed a contract extension until June 2022.[4]
For the 2020-21 season, he moved on loan to 3. Liga side to Türkgücü München.[5]
On 7 February 2024, Park moved back to the Philippines now with league champions Kaya-Iloilo for the Philippines Football League 2024 season.
In July 2024, Park became a victim of six women pickpocketers in Bonifacio Global City. He lost some cash but recovered his wallet.[6]
