This is the core of the Son Heung-min and the '96 Line' controversy

- The '96 Line'
Stance before becoming a senior: "I have no lingering attachment to the national team"
Stance after becoming a senior and seeing more juniors: "Step down as captain and let us take over, otherwise we'll retire"
- Son Heung-min
Served as the youngest member, even carrying water bottles during the era of senior players of Park Ji-sung's caliber
Maintains good relationships with senior players
While enjoying a long career in the EPL, he also holds the records for most appearances, goals, and assists for the national team
Holds the status of a club legend and captain in the EPL, which is filled with Western players
The answer is clear at this point
The '96 Line' exhibits a "double standard MZ mindset"—shouting about individualism and refusing to listen, yet trying to rule over others once they become seniors themselves
The one who was truly sincere about the national team was Son Heung-min
