🚨 | 𝐒𝐎𝐍: “𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐆𝐈𝐍…” 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. 🫡🇰🇷 #손흥민
