Legal action will be taken against excessive rumors against Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min’s agency, Son & Football Limited, said in a press release on the 4th, “There was never a visit and payment by Son Heung-min to the club, which is a clear false fact.”

Munich won the match. Tottenham was led away by Gabriel Vidovic in the first four minutes. Leon Goretzka, who came in as a substitute in the 11th minute of the second half, scored an additional goal to widen the gap. Pedro Porro recovered a goal in the 20th minute of the second half, but Munich won 2-1 without further scoring.
After the game, the fact that Son Heung-min went to the club began to spread online. It was about Son Heung-min paying tens of millions of won worth of alcohol for Munich players at a club located in Gangnam, Seoul. Rumors spread rapidly because it was believed to have been posted by employees working at the club.
However, this was known to be the dissemination of false information to promote the business employees. “After checking the facts, it was confirmed that the MDs (merchandiser) of the club spread false information to promote their businesses,” Son’s agency said.
“These actions are crimes that damage the reputation and image of Son Heung-min, who recognizes social responsibility as a public figure and continues to live a restrained life, and we will take legal action against the club and its MDs as soon as possible,” he added.
He also said he would not remain silent about spreading malicious and false information related to Son. “He humbly accepted the public’s criticism and did not respond to some rumors on social media and the Internet, as he truly appreciates the fans’ interest and support,” the agency said.
“However, we believe that we can no longer overlook it as a result of spreading maliciously false facts like the above club MDs as if they were true, and many actions or comments have been found that exceed the limit that players can accept as public figures,” he explained.
“Based on reports made so far, we are collecting evidence and continuously monitoring it internally. I would like to inform you that in the future, we will never sit idly by and take stern measures without any agreement or leniency against acts that infringe on rights, such as spreading false information related to Son Heung-min, generating malicious rumors and posting malicious comments,” he said.
