The pillars of the South Korean national team, Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae, are being internationally ridiculed.
On the 30th (Korean time), SB Nation published an article titled ‘Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae and feud’ and criticized the two players.
After the match against Uruguay, Kim Min-jae said, “I was mentally broken,” and “I want to focus on my team (Napoli) from now on.”
His remarks were interpreted as his retirement from the national team, and public opinion simmered.
As the controversy spread, national team captain Son Heung-min posted an article on his Instagram emphasizing the importance of the national team. He seemed to be aiming at Kim Min-jae, who downplayed the weight of the national team.
Then, claims were raised that Min-jae Kim unfollowed Heung-min Son’s SNS account, and Heung-min Son also unfollowed Min-jae Kim.
It was also pointed out that rumors of discord had ignited between the two.
In response, Kim Min-jae posted an apology for his careless remark. Son Heung-min sent a gesture of reconciliation by clicking ‘Like’. Kim Min-jae also responded with a ‘like’ to Son Heung-min’s writing.
This is how the two ‘unfollow’ commotion came to an end.
However, the comedy-like commotion between the two ended up becoming an international ‘speaking point’.
Kim Min-jae’s remarks were obviously careless. It was enough to make fans doubt that he valued his team more than the national team.
Son Heung-min also failed to claim. Even if Kim Min-jae said the wrong thing, it was Kim Min-jae’s responsibility.
It may give fans the impression that Taegeuk mark is taken lightly, but Kim Min-jae is free to reveal his thoughts.
It doesn’t seem desirable for the team captain to openly rebuke him just because his comments didn’t fit the Korean sentiment.
Son Heung-min is different from fans and media. The aftermath of his words is unimaginable. Minjae Kim is no different.
Son Heung-min seemed to be scolding, saying, ‘I wore a mask even when I had an orbital fracture, but you’re the only one who can do that.’ 먹튀검증
Even if it was a formal rhetoric, the problem was that it wrote the importance of the national team in the first sentence.
If Kim Min-jae made a mistake, Son Heung-min, his senior, should have embraced him.
Doesn’t Son Heung-min also know how hard it is to play as a national team player?
SB Nation even said, “Both are ‘idiots'” when Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae had a conflict over the national team game.
The national team is not something anyone can do. So, you shouldn’t just spit out words as you please. This is why you need to be careful with your words and actions.
