To those who call Son Heung-min fake or whatever
You will miss Son Heung-min later.
The late 90s generation who said they had no lingering attachment to the national team, but now that they are veterans, they boycott the captaincy and threaten retirement.
The early 2000s generation right below them, characterized by insubordination and talking back.
The mid-2000s generation right below them, known for senseless interviews regarding military exemption.
It is 100% a mess.
With this recent '96 line incident, the entire nation has seen how the MZ generation will practice double standards once they get older.
When they weren't the core of the team, they shouted about individualism and refused to follow, but now that they are veterans, their stance has flipped, and they are demanding the captaincy just so they can rule over their juniors.
Those who call Son Heung-min "fake" will eventually miss that "fakeness" once they witness the truly ugly, authentic people in the future.
Even if it is "fake," he gives a professional, well-minded interview every single time.
Despite having a long-running career in overseas leagues, he consistently shows up for the national team, holding the records for most appearances and most goals; at this level, he is more sincere about the national team than anyone.
If someone has been "fake" for 15 years, you have to respect it.
Son Heung-min may not be Messi, but it is undeniable that he has left achievements in Korea worthy of a grand ceremony, similar to Messi's national team retirement ceremony yesterday.
