you fucking guys when I was watching this live my friends and I were like "oh wow that's touching everyone claps and shows respect for ronaldo as he leaves the field" BUT THIS WAS GUESUNG TELLING RONALDO TO HURRY TF UP LEAVE THE FIELD AND STOP STALLING😭
Son on Conte:
I'm very sorry to him as an athlete. I should have shown better sides of me to him and helped the team out more, but I wasn't able to. Because of that, [Conte] ultimately had to shoulder responsibility by leaving, and I feel very responsible for it.
"I'm always grateful to fans. I feel it every moment, every week, every game; a simple "thank you" is not enough to express my gratitude. It's shameless, but I ask for your support during our final game. Thank you always for having supported a lacking player like me this season."
"I'm sorry to the fans for taking so long to gift them this present (goal) that they waited for. It's thanks to the support of my teammates and fans that I was able to achieve this incredible feat. I won't stop here and will do my best to score more goals in the future."
Rough trans “In the future we’ll meet groovyroom not as artists under a CEO but as CEOs. I can talk about this here right? Just this much? CEOs, I will see you in the future.”
I still can't get over heungmin furiously refusing the medic's "let's leave [the pitch] for the time being" with "no, no, I can't, I can't"......the passion and dedication that he has for his country is truly unparalleled
Son Heungmin becomes the top free kick scorer in Korean football history
"While this record is a wonderful thing, football is a sport where the team comes first. Rather than [be happy about] my individual goals, I feel responsible for not winning as a team."
SHM on racist gesture made by CP fan:
I’m Asian. I’m proud to be Korean, have been born in Korea to my Korean parents, and have 50 million Korean citizens who consider me as family...I hope that strong action can be taken to serve as an example to prevent [racism] in the future.
YoungJ: I have no excuse for myself. However, I always apologize to my members for my tardiness whenever I do show up late for practice.
Jho: WHO IS HE KIDDING?!?!?!?!?!
to everyone blaming their problems on heungmin yet again:
1) Heungmin liked Minjae's apology on ig
2) HM posted about what an honor it is for him to run for the country
3) MJ blocked HM - all of HM's likes on MJ's posts have disappeared
but yes of course it's HM's fault

#Tottenham
target, Kim-Min Jae, has unfollowed South Korea captain, Heung-Min Son on Instagram after a shocking interview suggesting KMJ may retire from the National Team.
translated this bc I'm a loser and think everyone needs to wow cry gif with me
I've watched son woongjung's interview at least 20 times but it still makes me feel sososososo broken every time...I'm so proud of you Heungmin you're such an inspiration to everyone 🥹
SHM on KMJ today: "It was a situation that could totally have been misunderstood [from Minjae's perspective]...I think he will have learned how much I care for him through this incident. I will help him more from now on and hope Minjae can grow as a better athlete and person."
Finding out that heungmin was standing still watching kangin deliver his Oscar performance makes this even funnier I had no idea he was right behind them 😭😭😭
“It requires a lot of courage on my part to express and show myself [on TV] fully (he’s talking about the hate he received in the first eps of SMF I'm killing myself)…the message I wanted to communicate in the finals is that villains like us can also receive love from people.”
@sonofshibal
When the game ends and Sonny takes his mask off and smashes it?? When the entire stadium waits to find out whether they’re through or not??? Peak WC drama peak WC emotions
ocheon scolding fans for giving him gifts (clothing) "YOU SHOULD BE WEARING THIS [NOT ME]"
++ He later fretted about receiving too many clothes as gifts every day so OP asked him if he wanted to share with/give to them...which he firmly refused to do
making a thread of HM's old cyworld posts
"These days, my acting cute is crazy...it looks like I have something (🤔🌈?) in me...my hands are pretty~~"
"Remember the innocent face of this 19-year-old boy. He is a man that will soon dominate Bundesliga. Son Heungmin, be strong!"
Son: I was pressured [after winning the Golden Boot]. I tried preparing more, training in advance, even during preseason when I could have rested more. But when the season started, I felt like I was back in my first season [at Tottenham] again. I was anxious especially because +
Kangin: Athletes ask each other "who do you have [to brag about] from your country?" When it's my turn, I answer "Oh, we have the top scorer from the EPL last year [Son Heungmin]." And no one argues with that. They have to respect what should be respected. It can't be helped!
Son Heungmin post-SOUTOT interview
"The draw today is disappointing. I don’t feel good at all going back to the national team in dampened spirits...it’s very unfortunate and regrettable that we made these kinds of mistakes despite knowing just how important today’s game was."
-There seemed to be a team effort to raise Richarlison’s spirit.
A: "...While other players’ help certainly mattered, by constantly working hard and sacrificing himself for others, I think Richarlison was able to achieve such good results because he himself prepared well."
🥹
"My teammates did so well, but because I messed up by missing so many chances, I am sorry to them. As their senior, I’m so proud of these young athletes. They are the hope of Korea, so I hope fans, despite their disappointment, will not criticize them."
-Your header contributed greatly to today's clean sheet.
▶ All players do it. What I did isn't something special. Each one of us has a role to play; anyone else would have done the same if they had been at my position, trying their best for the sake of our team.
🗣️ Kangin must remind you of yourself.
SHM: I don't know how time passed. I was so nervous [when I used to be the youngest]. I didn't want to make any mistakes, so I'd wait for my roommate Jisung to fall asleep before going to bed myself. I'm feeling faint just thinking about it.
"Being part of the national team is an honor that I cannot express in words...I hope that we [the players] can hold responsibility as we remind ourselves that we run for Korea and Korea’s citizens."
MY CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN 😭😭😭
"While I may not always make the best passes to players, I’m so grateful to them for finishing so amazingly and helping me achieve such a precious record [of 50 assists]...And won’t I eventually score 100 goals? Even if I don’t, I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished so far."
his interview following Korea's exit from the wc alone should shut these people up...
"I don't want to blame any of my players because they gave everything. I'm very proud, very happy the young guys did an amazing job for the national team."
hopefully he felt the support from these fans and knows he has people like me fighting for him BUT the fact that he's obviously not in the mood but still has to force a smile on and wish others a happy new year in that bright voice IM ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE
Son Heungmin post-TOTBOU interview
"Team result is more important to me than my individual records. I’m focused on how we can finish the season off well in the time we have left...[and] how I can help my teammates out more. Today is a day that I feel more responsibility."
HM: Water. Water. I'll make sure to get the water today!
JS: I noticed that you're unable to vend water. I'll teach you.
HM: See?! I told you that you need to pay for it. See? It was like this last time too [when I was unable to vend water on the train].
a korean fan who "lived in spain" was trying to converse with kangin in spanish until kangin interrupted them with "do you know how to speak korean? just talk to me in korean" because he probably couldn't understand what the fan was saying 😭😭😭 his face
thought this was funny bc heungmin uses the korean nickname for deki (sevsev) but then says richarlison with the R in a korean accent right after (koreans pronounce richy's name as hesharlison bc he's Him)
WORLD STOP IT'S SONNY X JUN JIHYUN....
jjh: thank you for signing
heungmin: oh no it's nothing of course I have to do it for you thank you so much it's an honor
YESSSSS! YESSSSSSS!!!! KANGIN. TO. TOTTENHAM. KANGIN. TO. FUCKING. TOTTENHAM. I TOLD YOU ALL THAT WE WOULD WIN THIS SUMMER TRANSFER WAR BUT NONE OF YOU BELIEVED ME. WELL DO YOU BELIEVE ME NOW? BECAUSE KANGSON IS FULLY BACK. TEARS OF JOY IN MY EYES.
Heungmin said it's his biggest dream to bring the Asian Cup back home to Korea (if he is given a chance to participate in the AFC run) especially as it's a trophy that hasn't been brought to Korea for a long time 🥹
"A lot of people come to mind [right now]: my family, friends, people I used to run with, people I currently run with, Tottenham fans, Korean citizens who supported me through day and night...but [especially] my grandfather who passed last week..."
me courteously going to the qrts of a tweet my mutual rted and then going back to the original tweet to rt so that I dont show up in my mutual's notifs by rting their rt
son "criticism" isn't criticism it's just straight-up targeted abuse at this point...and all this for a ball that was offside in the first place. I've not seen any other player receive the same treatment for similar/worse mistakes.
Jho: So what are you doing every time you’re late [for practice]?
YoungJ: If I’m being very honest, if I’m late, I’ve been engrossed in a manga or gaming. I’m being honest here!
Yejun: Meanwhile, our team has never gamed once during the entire 8 months of preparing for SMF.
