While playing as a youth footballer for Kumho High School, Ko led his team to the title in the {{ill|Baeklokgi Football Tournament|ko|백록기 축구대회}}, one of national high school football competitions in South Korea, and was nicknamed the "Enfant terrible".{{cite news |url=http://www.jemin.com/news/articleViewAmp.html?idxno=153816 |script-title=ko:‘앙팡테리블’ 고종수 |publisher=Jemin Ilbo |language=ko |date=2006-07-12 |access-date=2023-04-08}} His talent received attention early from South Korea's senior professional clubs, and he joined Suwon Samsung Bluewings just before his graduation.{{cite news |url=http://legacy.h21.hani.co.kr/h21/data/L991025/0d6cap25.html |script-title=ko:뜨거운 감자, 고종수 |publisher=The Hankyoreh |language=ko |date=1999-11-04 |access-date=2023-04-08}}
Playing career
After joining Suwon Samsung Bluewings as a founding member in December 1995, Ko showed remarkable dribbles, passes and shots which led Suwon's prime. During his era, Suwon won 13 titles including two Asian Club Championships and two K Leagues. Especially, he was named the K League Most Valuable Player after contributing to his club's first-ever league title in 1998.
Ko was also noted for his free kicks and the front and right of the penalty arc were called "Ko Jong-soo Zones" in South Korea. He scored with a memorable free kick against José Luis Chilavert when he participated in FIFA's all-star game before the 2002 FIFA World Cup.{{Cite news |url=https://news.kbs.co.kr/news/view.do?ncd=191643 |script-title=ko:고종수, 마법의 왼발 |date=2001-05-10 |access-date=2023-04-08 |language=ko |publisher=Korean Broadcasting System}}
Ko was evaluated as the best Korean technician at the time,{{Cite web |url=http://news.media.daum.net/sports/soccer/200608/15/chosun/v13692030.html |script-title=ko:김병지 "고종수·이관우… 안타까운 내동생들아" |access-date=2006-10-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070311032415/http://news.media.daum.net/sports/soccer/200608/15/chosun/v13692030.html |website=Daum |publisher=The Chosun Ilbo |language=ko |archive-date=2007-03-11 |url-status=dead }} and his left foot is considered one of the greatest feet of all time in South Korea.{{Cite news |url=http://news.tf.co.kr/read/soccer/1698490.htm |script-title=ko:[TF라이브폴] 한국 축구 역대 최고 '왼발의 달인'은? 고종수 '압도적 1위' |date=2017-08-05 |publisher=The Fact |access-date=2018-04-24 |language=ko-KR}} He was expected to play for the national team in the 2002 World Cup, hosted by his country. However, he suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the 2001 season, and failed to recover his condition before the World Cup.{{Cite news |url=http://www.bluewings.kr/news/272641 |script-title=ko:히딩크 감독, "고종수 주어진 재능 키워라" 충고 |date=2002-05-01 |access-date=2023-04-09 |language=ko |publisher=Suwon Samsung Bluewings}} This injury was also fatal to his playing career, and he could not show his former talent.
Managerial career
Ko spent his coaching career in Suwon Samsung Bluewings from 2011 to 2017.{{Cite news |url=http://www.domin.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=802350 |script-title=ko:고종수, 수원 유소년팀 코치로 새출발 |date=2011-01-04 |access-date=2023-04-13 |language=ko |publisher=Jeonbuk Domin Ilbo}} In November 2017, Ko was appointed Daejeon Citizen manager by Kim Ho, the Daejeon Citizen president at the time and his manager during his playing career.{{Cite news |url=https://mobile.newsis.com/view.html?ar_id=NISX20171124_0000158198 |script-title=ko:프로축구 대전, 신임 감독에 고종수 전 수원 코치 선임 |date=2017-11-24 |access-date=2023-04-13 |language=ko |publisher=Newsis}} However, he was convicted of corruption for improperly selecting an acquaintance's son for the team after the 2018 season. He received a suspended six-month prison sentence.{{Cite news |url=http://www.daejonilbo.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=2011549 |script-title=ko:'대전시티즌 선수선발 비리혐의' 고종수·김종천 징역형 확정 |date=2022-06-30 |access-date=2023-04-13 |language=ko |publisher=Daejon Ilbo}}
