Online video service (OTT) Coupang Play’s sense of song selection impressed netizens. This is because while broadcasting the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asian 2nd qualifying round Group C 4th game between Korea and Thailand, an exquisite song was played for the hug scene between captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and youngest member Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).
The Korean national team played an away game at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 26th. On this day, Korea won the game 3-0.
The game on this day brought great joy to domestic soccer fans. Not only did they win, but a scene was created where the captain and the youngest, who had previously had a conflict, shared a warm hug.
In the 9th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min received a pass from Lee Kang-in and scored the second goal with a powerful left-footed shot. Lee Kang-in was happy and ran towards Son Heung-min and jumped up, and Son Heung-min hugged his younger brother without hesitation. Son Heung-min’s face was full of laughter as he held Lee Kang-in in his arms. This scene became a bigger topic than the game result.
In particular, Coupang Play, which broadcast the game online, repeated the hugging scene several times immediately after it was produced. Even after the game was over, he chose the hug scene as the best scene and showed it again. Coupang Play selects and plays songs along with famous scenes after the game ends, and on this day, Kim Dong-ryul’s ‘Should I Say I Love You Again’ was played as background music. It appears to convey the meaning that the conflict between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in has been completely resolved.

In this song, “Should I say I love you again / That I was destined to come back to you someday / That forgetting you was the hardest thing for me / That I couldn’t even think about / Should I say that I love you again / Will you accept me comfortably like a good friend / Will I love you even if I’m born again? It contains the lyrics, “That’s the reason for my life.”
Related posts were viewed tens of thousands of times on social media, and netizens who saw them responded with comments such as “Who selected the song?” and “I’m dying of laughter.” Coupang Play played singer Giggs’ ‘Frustrating’ as the ending song for the match against Thailand on the 21st. At that time, the game ended in a 1-1 draw.
After the game, Son Heung-min said in a media interview, “It’s been a while since I hugged (Lee Kang-in), and he’s so cute, and I hope he does better.” He said, “When playing soccer, there can be fights because each player has a strong desire to win and wants and demands things,” and added, “Even strong players deserve to be loved by soccer fans. “I am 100% confident that this incident will help him grow into a great player and person,” he said.
