Bulldog scores sponsorship with South Korean ex-footballer Park Ji-sung

British-based brand Bulldog Skincare has announced a new partnership with ex-Manchester United footballer Park Ji-sung.

The sponsorship will support Ji-sung’s JS Football Foundation in the South Korean footballer’s home town of Suwon.

Bulldog first launched in South Korea through cosmetics retailer Olive Young back in 2012.

Simon Duffy, Bulldog’s Founder, said: “As a football fan, I’ve admired Park since he was at Manchester United.

“He made a huge impact in Britain and I hope that working with him, Bulldog can make a similar impact in South Korea.”

Ji-sung acted as captain for his nation’s tea, and is now an ambassador for his former club.

Even after his retirement from international football Ji-sung is still the most successful Asian footballer in history, having helped win 19 trophies; he was the first Asian footballer to be part of the UEFA Champions League winning team.

The JS Foundation was created to help set up football pitches across the globe to support aspiring footballers.
