Epilogue
SUPER SON INFOGRAPHICS

A world-class superstar who surpasses idols and draws worldwide attention…
Still, Son Heung-min's thoughts remain unchanged: "Always thinking about soccer, only thinking about soccer."
An autobiographical essay containing the intimate voice of a happy soccer player who achieved his dream.

‘Son Heung-min’ is a very special name to Koreans.
It's not just because he scores a lot of goals and has great soccer skills.
He is a star soccer player who represents Korea, following in the footsteps of Cha Bum-kun and Park Ji-sung, and is a proud Korean whose name is known all over the world.
Above all, Son Heung-min has a unique DNA that is not easily found in Koreans.
Unlike Korean players who are accustomed to giving in, he is unfiltered in his desire to score goals and is not afraid to express his emotions.
He easily becomes friends with players from any culture, elevates the atmosphere in the locker room, and even in big games, he doesn't get nervous and instead performs even better.

Where does Son Heung-min's "specialness" come from? First and foremost, it's the dedicated guidance and hard work of his father, Son Woong-jung, a former soccer player.
To nurture his son into a top player, Son Woong-jung taught Son Heung-min in his own unique way, without relying on the existing Korean youth soccer system.
Son Heung-min, who thoroughly learned the basics from his father, was scouted by Hamburg, Germany, where he was able to experience advanced soccer.
Another factor that helped Son Heung-min develop his unique identity may be that he was able to enjoy soccer itself in a free-spirited atmosphere from a young age, without being obsessed with winning or losing.

Whatever its source, Son Heung-min's specialness excites us and makes us root for him wholeheartedly.
He smells of the passion that Koreans have lost recently.
In a reality where the barriers to employment are getting higher and it is becoming increasingly difficult to fulfill one's role as an adult, it is becoming increasingly difficult for young people to dream freely.
But Son Heung-min proves that dreaming the impossible is not a futile endeavor.
In Son Heung-min's tears after a dazzling performance only to lose the game, we sense the passionate effort and passion of a young man who fearlessly pushed himself to his limits, and we give him our heartfelt applause regardless of the outcome.

Son Heung-min, a legend still growing,
His sincerity, which could not be seen or heard outside of soccer
A twenty-seven-year-old man's thoughts while playing soccer.

Not much is known about Son Heung-min's private life, which is so brilliant.
This is due to his tendency to not enjoy the attention he receives outside the football field.
He finally started to reveal his innermost stories little by little.
"Thoughts While Playing Soccer" contains the untold story of his growth as a top player in the Premier League, the world's best league.
This essay will be particularly meaningful to both the author and our readers, as it reflects on the thoughts, emotions, and hidden stories of a young man who achieved his dream through constant struggle and challenge during his turbulent journey.

Also, in 『Thoughts While Playing Soccer』, he is still a legend at only 26 years old, and is full of stories about his past, when he played soccer a little differently from others, his present where he is enjoying shining glory, and his dreams of what new history he will create in the future.
The story of how he broke his brother's finger during his childhood when he would kick anything, the opportunity he seized after enduring his father's free but harsh training and eventually catching the eye of a Hamburg scout, the lesson he learned when the excitement of scoring his professional and international debut goal at a young age led to his failure in weight management and slump, the times he felt anxious about not being able to play in the Premier League, his dream league, and the process of growth he went through to finally overcome it and become the team's best ace... Above all, it is welcome from the fans' perspective that Son Heung-min, a young man before being a soccer player, a son of his parents, and a fool who knows nothing but soccer, is starting to slowly reveal his story.

"Thoughts While Playing Soccer" is closer to an essay containing Son Heung-min's honest thoughts and feelings at every moment of his life than a typical autobiography detailing the life of a soccer player.
Thanks to this, even readers who are not particularly interested in soccer will be able to read 『Thoughts While Playing Soccer』 more comfortably and easily.
Of course, as it colorfully introduces Son Heung-min's private life, which has been largely shrouded in mystery, the atmosphere of the training ground and locker room, and episodes with people around him, it will be a valuable gift to both Son Heung-min and the existing soccer fandom.
