Most of you got it correct. Park Ji Sung (Ji Sung Park for you who put the family name at the end) is a *coughworldfamouscough* soccer player for Manchester United. The Koreans are so proud of him because he's Korean and plays for arguably the best sports franchise in the world. If you say "Park" and "football" in the same sentence here in Korea, everybody knows instantly who you're talking about. And probably half the time if you asked your buddy, "Hey, you wanna play football at the park?" the Koreans nearby would get super-excited and commence blabbering about Man U. (I personally hate Manchester because they consistently stifle my team's title chances. But now is not the time for that bitterness.)
If you still don't know who he is, I'll post a picture here of him playing for his home country in a World Cup Qualifier I had the opportunity to go to this past week.
He's wearing number 7 in the picture, I don't know if you'll be able to see him. He is somewhere in the left side of the line between the green shirts and the suits.
Be sure to come back for the next household names quiz. Later folks.

Hey, I just looked at the pic and it turns out Park Ji Sung is the one right next to the green shirt who's staring at the ground under his feet.
I thought that was him, glad you confirmed it for me.
