Aren't the players resisting because of Son Heung-min's dictatorship?

In my opinion, boycotting the entire squad interview just because someone got upset over a reporter's backbiting during the World Cup doesn't seem like an action taken for the sake of being "one team"; it looked like immature behavior from someone who can't separate public and private matters. Especially during the World Cup finals...
I also didn't understand why they were being picked on for playing table tennis after training, especially since the manager hadn't even banned it...
It's not like he's perfect in every aspect like Ohtani; if someone who has had several articles written about their private life acts like that just because they are popular, it's bound to make the people below them angry.
