Son Heung Min, the fierce Tottenham and South Korean striker, has established himself as a phenomenon in the Premier League, Europe and Asia. He is considered one of the best Asian players in the history of European football and one of the best wingers in the world.
The South Korean footballer was born on July 8, 1992, in Chuncheon, South Korea. In 2010, he officially joined the South Korean national team. On 13 June 2013, Bayer Leverkusen confirmed the transfer of Son for a fee of €10 million, which was then the highest transfer fee in the club’s history. Later in 2015, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino signed him from Bayer Leverkusen for £22 million. Son is indeed an integral part of the Tottenham Hotspur squad and has largely contributed to their success.

As for his personal life, Son Heung Min had a relationship with K-pop singer Bang Min-ah, a South Korean singer and actress by profession. However, this relationship did not last long and the two eventually broke up.
Her son was recently in a relationship with So-young Yoo, a South Korean actress and former member of the girl group After School from Seongnam, South Korea. While the exact date of their meeting is not revealed, the actress and footballer first made headlines in November 2015. She revealed their connection after being photographed with her son outside the National Football Center Paju football. When they met, the actress was 29 years old and he was 23. Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, their relationship ended before it could flourish. It was extremely difficult for the actress to accept the breakup.
As of 2021, Son Heung Min is not dating anyone.
