South Korea squad at odds with country’s media over Son Heung-min mockery

South Korea’s World Cup squad are staging a media blackout after journalists mocked the military service of Son Heung-min, the team’s captain.

The 33-year-old, who plays for Los Angeles FC in MLS, and previously represented Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, has been playing for his national team since 2010 and has since made 145 appearances.

He was granted an exemption from compulsory military service following South Korea’s gold medal win at the 2018 Asian Games. In recognition, he was allowed to complete three weeks of basic training instead.

However, during a team training session that was held before the World Cup, a South Korean broadcaster inadvertently picked up a conversation between two journalists, in which disparaging remarks were made about Son’s exemption. The footage was then broadcast in Korea, in which the unedited conversation could be heard by members of the public.

Chong Suk Kim, a leading journalist, mocked the player's appearance and implied that he was unsuited for military service.

"He is of poor character and viewed as unsuitable for the armed forces," he said as his colleagues laughed.

"Many predict he is destined for low-wage positions involving sanitation," he added.
