2018 Asian Games , when South Korea lost 1-2 to Malaysia in the second round, many Chinese fans gloated and jokingly joked that "One person joins the army, the whole family is glorious", "It would be a pity for such Son Heung-min to not send it to military service"...
won all three games in the group stage, scoring 11 goals and conceded only 1 goal. After China U23 advanced to the 1/8 final as the first in the group, many fans threatened to kill South Korea in the knockout round and send Son Heung-min to military service.
In the end, Chinese fans completely lost their character.
China U23 was killed by Saudi U21 in the 18th final. After South Korea passed Iran, it faced Uzbek in the quarter-finals and reversed and advanced in overtime. In the final against Japan, Son Heung-min gave 2 assists in a single game, helping South Korea defeat Japan 2-1 to win the championship.
South Korea U23 won the men's football gold medal at the Asian Games. All participating players in the team will be exempted from military service. The military service memes about Son Heung-min will disappear from then on.
Of course, there are also many rational fans in China. After winning the championship in South Korea, they congratulated Son Heung-min: "Congratulations, to be honest, no matter how much you say, no matter how much you say, no matter how much you say, no matter how much you are, as the best player in Asia. I really don't want him to devote his best years to the stadium, not the military camp. This can improve Asian football !"
However, as Chinese fans wish, Son Heung-min is really ready to join the army. It's just not two years, but 4 weeks of military training
According to Sky Sports, Son Heung-min is negotiating with Tottenham . If the Premier League fails to restart before April 30, he hopes to serve in South Korea for four weeks of military service.
Previously, South Korean media revealed that Son Heung-min joined the 9th Brigade of the Jeju Marine Corps in order to participate in military training.
