International career

She already made history in the U-16 Championship back in 2017 when she scored in every match but one, racking up the highest individual scoring tally at the tournament since Australia's Caitlin Foord.[4]
She made her national senior debut for Korea DPR on 24 September against Singapore as a part of the 2022 Asian Games.[5] Kyong-yong was the key player for Korea DPR in their road to the 2022 Asian Games Gold match final, as she scored 11 goals in four games, netting a five goal thriller against Singapore on their second-leg and a super-Hat-trick against Uzbekistan in the semi-finals.[6]
