An Australian Open junior semi-finalist, Song had a best career singles ranking of 330 in the world and made his only ATP Tour main draw appearance at the 1992 Seoul Open.[2]
Song was a men's team gold medalist at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok.
In 1999 he represented the South Korea Davis Cup team in a tie against New Zealand in Christchurch and played in two singles rubbers. This included the deciding fifth rubber, which he lost in four sets to Mark Nielsen.
Short in stature, Song had a game which was built around his two-handed backhand.[3]
