Park Ji-sung of Suwon - Manchester United
Gyeonggi-do's world soccer star Park Ji-sung moved to Suwon, Gyeonggi-do in January of 1990 when he was in 2nd grade. While playing on the soccer teams of Suwon Sannam Elementary School and Suwon Seryu Elementary School, he started standing out among his friends. He then went onto Anyong Junior High School in Hwaseong and Suwon Engineering High School, so he considers Suwon as his hometown. During his junior years, Park was awarded the Cha Beumgeun Soccer Award and was chosen to be part of the Olympic team when he was at Myongji University. In 2000, he joined the Japan's Kyoto Purple Sanga and began his career as a professional soccer player. In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Games, Park played a leading role in the semi-finals, scoring the final goal in the last match against Portugal. Just 30 months after he went to Europe, Park became Korea's first soccer player to join the Premier League, becoming an iconic soccer figure in Asia.

In May of 2004, Gyeonggi-do and the city of Suwon spent approximately 30 million won and commenced the Park Ji-sung Road project. A year later, the 1.38km-long and 35m-wide six-lane road was completed, stretching out from the Bethlehem Church in Byeongjeom-eup, Hwaseong and connecting with the three main roads of Yeongtong in Paldal-gu, Suwon. Along the road, about 100,000 trees were planted including zelkova trees, spindle trees, ramblin' roses, and cherry trees. Approximately ten large photos of Park decorate the two rest areas and the 86m-high soundproof wall along the road. The photos show Park's childhood and him scoring goals in the European Champions League and the World Cup Games.

[South Korea Gyeonggi-do] Suwon Hwaseong

The Joseon structure left by the designer Jeong Yak-yong
Suwon Hwaseong


Suwon Hwaseong is the castle structure created when Jeongjo, who surged the Joseon Renaissance in the 18th century, moved the grave of his father Prince Sado to the previously Suwon-eup, praised as a propitious grave site in 1794. Jeong Yak-yong had supervised its construction, and Chae Je-gong had built Suwon Hwaseong, as a masterpiece that promoted ‘castles’ from its set role of walls to another dimension. Castles are usually built with gates facing the four cardinal points and walls surrounding the gaps. Such simplicity results in many opinions that its construction is rarely worthwhile to see. However, Suwon Hwaseong is exceptionally evaluated as excellent in its composition of granite and bricks. It is quite fun to walk around the castle walls.
The surprising fact is that this enormous construction had been completed in only two and a half years. Geojunggi, the traditional equipment that applies the principles of pulleys, was used to drastically reduce the amount of labor. You can see the ingenuity of Jeong Yak-yong from such construction methods that used scientific technologies. The use of bricks, rare at the time, is also prominent. Bricks make curve and circular structures possible, which granite alone cannot handle. This supports the fortification that magnificently protrudes in front of the north gate (Jangan Gate) and the south gate (Paldal Gate). Moreover, unlike large molecules of granites that broke apart from bombardments, this combination is safe structure-wise, even if partially damaged. Also, it is said that Jung Yak-yong ignored the national compulsory labor culture that seemed natural at the time, to give payment to the technicians and workers put into service.
Being registered as the World Heritage Property by UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee in 1997, Suwon Hwaseong is a functional and beautiful Korean structure that proves its value on a global scale. There is a Hwaseong Tram Tour for tourists who have difficulties in walking, along with national archery experiences prepared for amusement. The P.R. Hall of Suwon Hwaseong is also a must-see site. Even more, Suwon is famous for its cow ribs, having developed as one of the three major national cow markets after the construction of Hwaseong. This is a good example as to how a single structure changed an entire city. Contact 031-251-4435,

1 This is the sight of Jangan Gate, the north gate of the castle. A circular fortification has been made with a gate in the middle for the protection of the castle gate.
The sight is magnificent, with multiple layers of towers and fortifications. This is the largest gate in Korea, larger than Sungrye Gate. The fortification was built with bricks in half-circles, and named in the sense that it looks like a jar cut in half.

2 This is the Hwaseong Temporary Palace of Namnakheon. The palace, built along with the fortification of Suwon Hwaseong, was the king’s quarters during his travels. Most of the structures had been lost to the shackles of history, with Namnakheon solely remaining. The rest had gone through maintenance and restoration processes in 1997.

3 This is the castle wall near Yeonmudae.



4 This is Hwaseo Gate, the west gate. It is true to its military defensive functions, carefully being planned to be a fortress. It is a single story building.

Mascot -Aguileon

The mascot of Suwon Samsung Bluewings Football Club, Aguileon is a Griffon, the legendary animal from Greek mythology with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. The name is a composite of the Spanish words for the two distinct body parts, aguila (meaning 'eagle') and leon ('lion'). The wings of Aguileon's back are representative of the blue wings featured on the giant 60 meter-long banner of the Grandbleu supporters club, and their inclusion in the design of the mascot symbolizes the harmony of the team and its supporters.





BLUEWINGS-HISTORY

Suwon Samsung Bluewings Football Club, founded in December 1995, has positioned itself as one of the most prominent football clubs in Korea in a short period of time. In the very first year of the club's participation in the K-Leagu, Suwon claimed the second stage of the 1996 league championship, an achievement that caused quite a big sensation in Korean football. Although they lost out to Ulsan Hyundai in the Championship playoff that year the club had progressed a lot and indeed reached the final of the inaugural FA Cup competition in December that year where they narrowly lost out to Pohang Steelers on penalties.

1997 was all about building on the foundations laid in the debut year as the club continued to strengthen their squad and develop a unique style of play. When the 1998 season began it was clear something special was happening with the Bluewings, and on the final day of the season a 3-0 victory away at Bucheon was enough to see off the challenge of nearest rivals Ulsan as Suwon were crowned 1998 K-League champions. The Bluewings also made their first foray into Asian competition that season by competing in the 1997/98 Asian Cup Winners' Cup tournament. Making it all the way to the final, Suwon fell at the final hurdle to Saudi Arabian side Al-Nasr, but already the Bluewings name had been made known all around Asia.

The following season the Bluewings swept all before them on the domestic stage, picking up the 1999 K-League Championship, Adidas Cup, League Cup and Korean Super Cup trophies. With players such as Sasa Drakulic, Denis Laktionov, Seo Jung-won and Park Kon-ha setting the league on fire it was clear that Suwon's potential was only beginning to be realized.

Suwon Samsung Bluewings did not sit back in light of their remarkable domestic achievements but instead started to make greater efforts to become an international force. The club competed in the 1999/00 Asian Champions Cup where they were eliminated at the semi-final stage, but made up for that disappointment by retaining the Adidas Cup and Korean Super cup trophies.

The club had always dreamed of establishing itself as the best in Asia, and that dream was realized on May 26th 2001 when the Bluewings defeated Japanese side Jubilo Iwata to lift the 20th Asian Club Championship. Three months later they won the 27th Asian Super Cup, which meant that the club raised the level and profile of Korean football internationally.

In 2002, when the profile of Korean football was being raised massively around the world thanks to the efforts of the national side at the World Cup tournament, the Bluewings again scaled the heights of Asian football by retaining both the Asian Club Championship and Asian Super Cup trophies. One trophy was, however, missing from the Bluewings' trophy cabinet but that was finally added as Suwon defeated Pohang Steelers in the 2002 FA Cup final.

At the end of the 2003 season Kim Ho, who led the club for seven glorious years, announced his retirement as head coach and Suwon Samsung Bluewings unveiled Cha Bum-keun, arguably Asia's greatest ever player, as the second coach in Bluewings' history.

In 2004, the Bluewings made a big sensation with their new slogan ‘BOOM 2004'. With their new coach Cha the club won the second stage of the league championship and finally won their third K-League title in a thrilling Championship final against Pohang. It was the first time in K-League history that a new coach had won the Championship in his first year with a club.

Suwon Samsung Bluewings also introduced a scientific and effective management system to Korean football, starting with the first general manager , Korean-German Yoon Seong-kyun (1995~1998). Yoon brought advanced European systems to the club, which helped immensely in improving individual performances and strengthening the physical condition of the players. As the second general manager Hue Young-ho took office (1998~2003), the club was able put these philosophies into action, which made it possible for the club to win the K-League twice as well as claiming two Asian Club Championships and two Asian Super Cups. Now with third general manager An Gi-heon (2003~present) in place, the Bluewings are preparing a higher flight.

Suwon Samsung Bluewings plans to maintain their reputation as one of Asia's best clubs through their participation in the Asian Champions' League, and has been making steady efforts to become an international powerhouse beyond the Asian arena.

Not satisfied with their reputation as one of the most successful clubs in Asia, Suwon Samsung Bluewings will not forget their resolution that they will pay back the deep affection and warm support of the fans by leaping to prominence on the international football stage. This may be the true and real driving factor for the Bluewings today.
