It is true that the 96 Line was wrong to bring up internal issues

‌No matter what the problem was, it should have been resolved internally.
Therefore, I believe it is only right for all members of the 96 Line to retire from the national team.
However, it seems that this situation will ultimately bring no benefit to Son Heung-min either.
From the Incident 2701 to the table tennis issue and the interview boycott,
Son Heung-min was ultimately involved in all the problems that occurred within the team,
and those issues were not resolved smoothly.
These problems, too, were not settled quietly within the team
but leaked out to the public, whether intentionally or not.
Son Heung-min is now thirty-five by Korean age,
and it is a fact that his individual form has declined significantly.
It must have been extremely difficult to fulfill the role of captain
while constantly traveling on long-haul flights for a long time.
Since Son Heung-min is only human,
I believe his momentum has eventually run out.
Son Heung-min and many fans may not agree with this,
but I feel that after the last World Cup,
even if it wasn't a full retirement from the national team,
stepping down cleanly from the captaincy
might have been the right choice.
