He joined the celebration.
In a heartwarming turn of events, actor Park Seo Joon made an appearance on the pitch to congratulate soccer star Son Heung Min following a significant milestone in Son’s career. As the Tottenham Hotspur captain celebrated his team’s victory in the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League on May 22, the actor’s support became a highlight amid the ongoing media frenzy surrounding Son’s blackmail scandal.
Son’s triumph marks a historic moment for Tottenham, as it’s the club’s first major trophy in 17 years. Overwhelmed with emotion, he was spotted shedding tears of joy as he lifted the trophy, becoming the first Spurs captain to do so in 40 years.
Following the match, Park joined Son on the field to share a warm embrace, demonstrating the strength of their friendship. The moment resonated with fans, especially those familiar with their history. Park, who had been cheering from the stands, also took to social media to express his excitement.

The duo also snapped some pictures together, cherishing the moment with the coveted trophy.
Fans were left astounded by Park’s presence, but their bond goes back years. Son had previously expressed his admiration for the K-drama star in his 2019 documentary Sonsetional, explaining how he’s always had Park by his side.
Park’s support at this pivotal time is particularly poignant, given Son’s ongoing blackmail case involving a claim of pregnancy and extortion. Allegations surfaced regarding a woman who allegedly tried to extort ₩300 million KRW (approximately $218,000 USD) from Son last year, reportedly making demands after he had already aided her financially. The case has drawn significant media attention, making Park’s show of support even more meaningful amidst the chaos.
