In Australia and Pakistan, Yong-Soo is known as "Younis Choi", given to him in recognition of his low, swerving shots on goal - much like the signature delivery bowled by Pakistani cricketer Waqar Younis.
Also, Waqar Younis employed the technique of covering the ball with his hands during his run up to hide the grip.
The single "Andhi aur Toofan" was released as a tribute to Pakistani cricket team players Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram.
The world's fastest sprinter and runner Usain Bolt, who is from Jamaica (in the West Indies), once famously replied while being asked about who were his heroes when he was a child: "When I was really small I loved the Pakistan cricket team. Waqar Younis was one of the greatest bowlers ever, and I was a bowler so I really enjoyed watching him. I was a big Pakistan fan until I got older, when I noticed that I should actually support my home team."
