Kim Byung-ji (born 8 April 1970) is a former football goalkeeper who played for the South Korea national team as well as several clubs in the K League.

[4] However, Kim struggled in the Netherlands' 17 shots on target,[5] and became the only player to receive acclaim despite conceding five goals.

In a match of the 2001 Lunar New Year Cup against Paraguay, he was deprived of the ball after he suddenly tried to dribble, and embarrassed Guus Hiddink, the former South Korea's manager.

[10] Kim formed a strong rivalry with Lee Woon-jae in the K League and the national team,[11] and also competed with him for the position as a starter in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Hiddink agonised over the choice of a goalkeeper until the start of the tournament, but selected Lee because of Kim's eccentric play in the Lunar New Year Cup.
