Recently, there has been significant coverage of turmoil within the Korean national soccer team. The news broke two days ago, with a media outlet reporting a serious conflict among members of the South Korean national team.
According to the reports, a physical altercation purportedly took place involving star players Son Heung Min and Lee Kang In, leading to Son Heung Min sustaining a fractured finger.
Lee Kang In has issued an apology, refuting the accusation of physical assault. However, repercussions have already begun, with companies withdrawing promotional campaigns featuring him.
On February 16, a fan shared a video capturing Son Heung Min’s difficulty in holding a pen while autographing, attributed to his injury. The clip surfaced on a renowned online community, prompting expressions of concern from fellow netizens regarding his health.
Korean netizens commented,
