British media is also paying attention to Heung-min Son's (33, Tottenham) personal life issues.
A woman in her 20s claimed to be pregnant with Son's child and has been threatening him and demanding money. Son has filed a lawsuit against the perpetrators. The police arrested the woman in her 20s and a male accomplice in his 40s.
People in Britain are also paying attention to the Son issue. Since Son has maintained a clean personal life until now, the reaction in Britain is one of surprise.
The Guardian reported on the 15th, "A report from Korea states that a woman has been threatening Son with false pregnancy claims. Son's agency asserted that he is the victim. The Seoul police are investigating the allegations and have not commented specifically on the reports," providing a detailed account of the Son incident.
This comes at a time when Son has just returned after missing a month due to a foot injury. Additionally, Tottenham will face Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League final on the 22nd. The emergence of personal life issues at such a critical time is causing confusion among fans.
Various foreign media outlets, including BBC and CNN, are covering the Son incident. CNN noted, "Son enjoys tremendous popularity in Korea. He is considered the greatest Asian football player of all time. Tottenham fans hope Son will play in the UEFA Europa League final. Tottenham is aiming for its first victory since 2008."
