Kim Do-Heon (Hangul: 김두현, born 14 July 1982) is a South Korean football midfielder who currently plays for K-League side Seongnam FC.

Club career

A midfielder with great technical skills, West Brom's manager Tony Mowbray compared Kim's accurate passing skill with that of a gridiron quarterback.[1] Kim Do-Heon turned professional with Suwon Bluewings in 2001, where he won the 2004 Korean Championship before a move to Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma in June 2005. Due to his impressive game reading and consistent performances, he is widely known in Asia as the "Asian Paul Scholes", due to comparisons between him and the Manchester United and former England international midfielder.

Kim spent a few days on trial at West Bromwich Albion during December 2007,[2] and at the end of the January transfer window moved to the club on loan for the rest of the season, with a view to a permanent deal.[3] He scored his first goal for West Brom in the final match of the season against QPR, eight minutes after coming on as a second-half substitute. Albion went on to win 2–0, securing them the Football League Championship title and promotion to the Premier League.[4] On 28 May, he completed the move to West Brom for £550,000.[5] Kim made his Premier League debut on 16 August 2008 against Arsenal, where they lost the match 1–0. He scored once after the permanent move, in a 2–2 draw with Burnley in the FA Cup on 24 January 2009.[6]

On 27 July 2009 Suwon Bluewings have signed the South Korean midfielder from West Bromwich Albion for £360,000, he has already played for Suwon from 2001 to 2005.[7]

International career

Kim was a prominent playmaker for the U-23 national team before injuries took their toll. He scored against the Maldives during his five appearances in the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He was part of the South Korean 2004 Olympic football team, who finished second in Group A, making it through to the quarter finals, before being defeated by silver medal winners Paraguay. Kim played in all four of South Korea's matches during the tournament. He was one of the 23 Korean footballers who were called by Dick Advocaat, then manager of South Korea for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. However, due to the presence of Manchester United's Park Ji-Sung in the same position, Kim had to watch from the sidelines as Korea failed to qualify for the knockout stage.

On 14 June 2008, Kim accomplished his first international hat-trick in a 3–1 victory against Turkmenistan in the World Cup qualification stage. Korea advanced to the final qualification stage as a result. He was omitted from the Korean squad for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, meaning that he would be available for the start of West Bromwich Albion's 2008–09 Premier League campaign.[8]

Personal life

Kim is married to Jung Hye-Won, who gave birth to their son on 12 August 2008. He delayed his return to Korea to visit his son for the first time, in order to participate in the opening games of the 2008–09 Premier League season.[9]
