South Korean soccer sensation Son Heung Min made a highly publicized return to Incheon International Airport, greeted by a legion of fans and reporters. This arrival comes shortly after his impressive stint with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, sparking both excitement and controversy online.
Donning a casual outfit and happily showcasing his UEFA Europa League winner’s medal, Son appeared joyful as he interacted with fans who showered him with letters and gifts. His popularity remains evident, even amid the swirling controversy surrounding his past relationship.
