Oh Captain, OUR Captain.

Son Heung-min 🐐 took time to personally apologize to Korea fans 🇰🇷 for his team’s early World Cup exit.

How many players would apologize like this in public?

What a leader 👏🏻

After the group stage, the standout attacking profiles are not only finishers, but players who also create for others.
High xA plus strong xG/goal threat shows who is involved in both the final pass and the final action.

Son updated his IG before deleting and then reuploaded with this particular final paragraph requesting that supporters to show our players respect—he could not finish his post without protecting the team. 😭🙏

“Lastly, it pains me to ask something of you again in a situation like this, and I feel truly sorry for doing so. But rather than directing excessive criticism and hurt toward all of the players, I sincerely ask that you continue to send them your warm support and encouragement, even though I know this is incredibly difficult.”

Son Heung-min updated his IG 👀

Here’s the full English translation of what he wrote:

“I don’t even know where to begin. I can’t pretend not to know what’s happened, nor do I want to avoid facing reality.

First of all, I want to sincerely apologize to the people of South Korea and to all the fans who love Korean football.

As someone who loves football myself, if I had watched a match like this, I would have felt deeply disappointed, frustrated, and heartbroken. That’s why I don’t think a single “I’m sorry” could ever fully express the disappointment and pain our fans are feeling. Even saying those words feels painfully inadequate.

Every day, every moment, countless emotions have been crossing my mind. I wanted to make sure I shared at least these thoughts with all of you who have been going through an even harder time than anyone else.

This tournament meant more to me than anything. It feels as though the “stage of a child’s dream” that I’ve always spoken about has come crashing down. To be honest, even now it isn’t easy to accept this reality. When I think about the far greater disappointment and pain our fans must be carrying, I hesitate to even speak about my own feelings. I believe the emotions you’re experiencing are no different from mine.

I know how much has been sacrificed for this stage. I also feel an enormous sense of responsibility for not being able to repay the time, support, unwavering encouragement, and love you have given us. I am truly, deeply sorry. And to everyone who believed in us, supported us until the very end, and stood by our side, I sincerely thank you.

Rather than trying to express everything with words right now, I will do my very best from where I stand to win back the hearts of the people of South Korea and our football fans. I will dedicate my life to football so that I can once again bring you joy. I have never forgotten the promises I made to you. Until the day you call for me again, until the day you need me again, I will pour everything I have into preparing myself to return stronger.

Lastly, it pains me to ask something of you again in a situation like this, and I feel truly sorry for doing so. But rather than directing excessive criticism and hurt toward all of the players, I sincerely ask that you continue to send them your warm support and encouragement, even though I know this is incredibly difficult.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long message.”

I will always love this man. My hero. My captain. 🫡🇰🇷

대한민국 축구 역사상 가장 극적인 순간 중 하나인 2002년 한일 월드컵 조별리그 3차전 대한민국 vs 포르투갈 경기

이 골로 대한민국은 포르투갈을 1-0으로 꺾고 사상 첫 월드컵 16강 진출이라는 대위업을 달성하게 됩니다.

2002년 6월 14일 금요일

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@realstevescores Well said. 8 years ago we knocked out defending champions Germany. Ended with similar 1-0-2 record, but we showed FIGHT until the very end.

For Korea at the World Cup, no such thing as a meaningless match, no guaranteed result. Shameful display that deserves all the criticism.

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@Albert_Kim2022 Super relieved if I’m being honest. Yeah if we played in R32 I’ll back the lads 100%, but cowardly football to the point of national embarrassment simply does not deserve to advance.

Sincere congratulations to all the teams that fought on their final matchday to qualify!

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@KNTFootball Don’t promote this type of garbage AI content man, let’s stick with real news and updates please!

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@BibimBallers I can understand and contextualize 2014 since he was thrown into the fire late.

Will ALWAYS appreciate Hong Myungbo the captain of our 2002 squad.

But 2026 Hong Myungbo the manager 🤦🏻

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@hanx3sports @SonsationalN17 @VillageTaker Brentford’s rookie manager exceeded Frank’s best campaign despite further selloff of good players.

He got Xavi Simons and Kudus and managed to trot out multiple games barely creating 0.5xG.

There’s a reason he’s defending hydration breaks as a pundit with ZERO job links 😂

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@RyanRosenblatt Fully agreed. That decent result took a late stoppage time penalty to equalize and Son’s free kick too…

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@jtjt008 @KnowerOfBans Korea and Klinsmann should only be used in the sentence “Korea should’ve NEVER hired Klinsmann in 2023 when he was essentially unemployed in football managerial jobs since getting fired in 2016”

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@KNTFootball Joel, appreciate reading this perspective. Last night was a perfect storm of EVERYTHING going wrong, dark night for Korean football.

Candidly, we don’t deserve R32. If we are gifted a lifeline, will continue to support the lads loud and proud.

🙌🇰🇷 대한민국 화이팅 🇰🇷🙌

내가 아는 월드컵은 이런건데...

[Wonjinho @JoonerThoughts]

@tuh0n Seeing the legacy of one of the greatest players in our history get torn apart as he gets painted an incompetent villain…However one may think of Hong Myungbo as a manager, it’s a deeply depressing day for Korean football.
