South Korea captain Son Heung-min returns home to cheers after World Cup exit

South Korea captain Son Heung-min returned home on Wednesday (Jul 1) and was greeted by a small group of fans who cheered for the footballer following the Korean team's exit at the World Cup. Local media reports said Son was joined by nine players as fans cheered and yelled, "You worked hard" and "Don't bow your heads".
Son, who did not speak to reporters when he arrived, had apologised on Tuesday for South Korea failing to advance out of the group stage after winning one match and losing twice. #southkoreanews #southkorea #sonheungmin #FIFAWorldCup #WeAre26 #mediacorpFIFAWorldCup2026 #WeAreAllFans #football
