He scored four goals in 13 outings during his first season in the country. Kim then moved to the newly-promoted Royal Wahingdoh for the 2014-15 season and netted five times in 19 appearances to help the club finish third in the I-League.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, he signed for the current I-League champions Bengaluru FC, where he found the back of the net four times in their campaign en route the title.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Rogers, DSK Shivajians FC Manager, talking about the new signing, said: &ldquo;I saw Kim play regularly last season for Bengaluru FC, and I&#8217;ve always been very impressed with his performances. As a No. 9, I feel, he is the best in the I-League. A man of his experience and quality will only add strength and flexibility to the squad I&#8217;m building here.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>DSK Shivajians FC President, Shirish Kulkarni said; &ldquo;We are happy to have signed a player of Kim&#8217;s stature. He&#8217;s an incredibly talented player who has valuable experience of playing for some of the top clubs in India. I am confident that he will be an asset to the squad in the upcoming season. I wish him all the best of luck for the season.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Kim was born and raised in Japan, however, chose to play his international football for North Korea. He was a part of North Korea&rsquo;s 2010 AFC Challenge Cup squad and has represented his country at the senior level on three occasions. Since 2007, he was a constant fixture in North Korea&rsquo;s Under-23 squad before being called up to the senior side.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing his joy on signing for DSK Shivajians FC, Kim said: &ldquo;Since the time I know DSK Shivajians F.C, I observed the club has a professional management structure. The facilities are unmatched in India. These were reasons that made me interested. Luckily, I got a chance to join this year.<\/p>\n<p>The team comprises of several young talented players, who in about 2-3 years will be in the running for a spot on the National team. The club&#8217;s Academy set-up is fantastic, which helps develop the long-term vision of DSK Shivajians FC.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I can share my experience with my teammates for the benefit of the club. I am also very excited to help young players develop their skills. My aim is to score and help the team put in good performances and log as many wins. The pre-season training has been very hard, and that is the way it should be. My fellow players have helped me become a part of the DSK Shivajians FC family. The coaches have been helpful in every aspect of the game, and I hope that we can achieve bigger things together.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-28508\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSFC-Kim-Song-Yong.jpg\" width=\"250\" height=\"175\" alt=\"DSFC Kim Song Yong\" style=\"margin-right: 8px;
