      the fact that the whole squad is standing behind him on this is significant. Korean sports media has gotten away with this kind of thing for years because individual players rarely push back publicly. a collective boycott during a World Cup is a completely different level of pressure. the KFA is going to have a hard time staying neutral on this one.

      The slur word ‚Giregi(기레기, ‚Trash Journalists‘ , Presstitutes) refers to those damn mofos.

      lmao the irony of making that comment when the very reason you’re able to be there covering that shit is because of son.

      The Korean media is absurd. The way they operate in that country astounds me constantly

      Long overdue. Korean press needs to be taught a lesson. The amount of garbage articles and plain lies is astounding.

      Isn’t this just a preemptive boycott so they don’t have to answer questions and criticisms after they lose? This may be the smartest team yet.

      What the journalists association needs to do is out them…. there were literally dozens of cameras and microphones there, an entire country’s press corps can surely figure out who said what

      Where’s Fakers military service then?? 👀

      Not attacking my boy Faker, just saying the media are selective with who they snark at.

      Adding extra drama and distractions for no fucking reason🤦‍♂️

      What was the slur? Something about a military defector?

      Anyways, be happy that the Korean soccer plays do well enough to get exemption. Otherwise yall would be at home.

      Their criticisms are ridiculous. Tens of thousands of Korean men complete their service in capacities outside of the military every year. Elite athletes are only one of the several categories that qualify for alternative service options.

      One could argue that the journalists criticizing Son likely never played sports at an elite level, and should stick to reporting facts instead of shit talking people who accomplished what these reporters couldn’t.

      It’s such a pathetic slur. It’s not like he bribed his way to an exemption. He earned it like an Olympic athlete. So why is he running his mouth? If it’s jealousy he had plenty of opportunities to get a gold medal himself. They need to name the hater.

      Sure, attack a generational athlete who was exempted through the legal system set up for him. Morons.

      The most impunity jobs in Korea are probably journalists. In particular, entertainment and sports journalists are notorious. This was the case not only for Son Heung-min but also for Park Ji-sung. There are so many journalists easily write articles and induce malicious comments that hurt celebrities, but they can’t be punished properly. Those journalists won’t realize what they did wrong. They are just pretending to apologize.

      Korean celebrities and athletes do not need to be harassed, abused by either newspapers or people online. Abuse of anyone is wrong, and I am glad they’re taking a stand. The rag needs to be taught a lesson.

      I guess it’s good that the team is united instead of fighting with each other and getting hurt

      Yesterday I did an article on Kim Yeon-koung retiring and it discussed how she had a storybook ending to her career by winning the championship and being MVP in her last season.

      I told students that it’s not unusual for aging players to no longer be the best on their team as their career wanes. When I said that Son Heung-Min is probably not the best player on the field for the Korean national team anymore one boy freaked out…I think he wanted to fight me, lol. The love Koreans have for Sonny is unreal, but it’s a glorious thing to see.
