Career

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. He moved to Pachanga Diliman and participated in friendly games after the league season ended.[2]

In 2015, he was eliminated from tryouts for Marítimo and Teplička nad Váhom, challenging Europe, but succeeded in joining FC St. Pauli.[2] 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.
