In this Korean name, the family name is Choi.

Choi Sung-yong (Korean: 최성용; born 25 December 1975) is a former South Korean footballer who played as a wing-back or midfielder. Known for his good stamina and concentration, Choi was noted for his ability for man-to-man defense.[3] He performed a role to concentrate on marking Hidetoshi Nakata, considered the best Asian player at the time, when South Korea played against Japan in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[3][4]

He was also selected for the national team for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, but didn't appear on the field at that time.[1] After the 2002 World Cup, he joined Suwon Samsung Bluewings and helped the club win the K League title.
