Kim Joo-sung (born January 17, 1966) is a former South Korean football midfielder.
He played for the clubs Chosun University and Busan Daewoo Royals, both in South Korea, and later in the German Bundesliga for VfL Bochum.
He was nicknamed Yasaengma (hangeul: 야생마, literally Wild Horse) due to his pace and long mane of curly hair.
With the South Korea national team, he participated at three editions of the FIFA World Cup, in 1986, 1990, and 1994. He was elected the Asian Footballer of the Year for three consecutive years (1989, 1990, 1991). He also competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics.
In September 2003 he attended a sports management masters course at De Montfort University, Leicester until February 2004 when his studies took him to Switzerland. During his time in Leicester he lived in flat B.0 Bede Hall, a large hall of residence adjacent to the river Soar.
He now takes charge of KFA International Relations Department Chief.
