Son Heung-min. /AFPBBNews=News 1 Son Heung-min greeting fans. /AFPBBNews=News 1 Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham), famous for being a man with good manners, refused to take a selfie with a soccer fan? There was a reason. Local British media also sent praise. The British Sports Bible introduced the episode on the 11th (Korean time), saying, “Tottenham striker Son Heung-min was unable to take a photo with a single fan due to strict contract regulations.”
Currently, Son Heung-min has been called up to the Korean national team and is completing the A-match schedule. The Korean national team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will face Saudi Arabia at Saint James Park in Newcastle, England, on the 13th. Son Heung-min’s popularity among the national team was great. Korean fans also visited the training ground in person to see Son Heung-min.
However, Son Heung-min could not immediately comply with the Korean fan’s request to take a selfie with him. This is because Son Heung-min signed a contract with the domestic mobile phone brand Samsung. However, the cell phone handed out by the Korean fan was from a different brand. Son Heung-min politely declined the request for a selfie, saying he couldn’t hold another brand’s phone. Instead, a Korean fan held his cell phone and took pictures.
In fact, Son Heung-min carried out a ‘selfie’ fan service by personally holding a ‘Samsung’ mobile phone that another Korean fan had.

It can be a problem if you are caught using a cell phone from another company. In fact, in 2012, there was an incident where Brazilian legend Ronaldinho’s contract was canceled due to a single moment of mistake.

During the interview, he inadvertently took a sip of cola that was left on the table. However, this cola was a competitor brand of the company that had a contract with Ronaldinho. In the end, the cola company that was sponsoring Ronaldinho canceled the contract worth 1 million pounds (about 1.7 billion won) for this reason. Sports Bible praised Son Heung-min, saying, “Son Heung-min understood the situation well and handled it politely.”
