The strange reason why Son Heung-min can’t touch certain fans’ phones while taking selfies has been revealed.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
The South Korea international, who now captains Spurs, is one of the kindest and most friendly characters in professional sport. He always enjoys posing for photos with his fans, but doesn’t always pick up his mobile device.
THE BIGGEST PHOTO
A video has gone viral of Son apologizing to a fan for not being able to hold her iPhone while taking a selfie. This is because it has a sponsorship deal with Samsung, which prevents it from touching or using competing products. In the summer of 2023, he became an ambassador of the Korean electronics company.
DID YOU KNOW?
Son works with several major brands, such as Calvin Klein, Burberry and Gatorade, and his profile, especially in his home country, makes him a draw for those looking for a famous face to front their campaigns.
WHAT’S NEXT?
Although he is big business off the field, Son has been a star on the field lately. After scoring just 14 goals in all competitions last season, he has already scored three in 2023/24 after scoring a hat-trick in his last Premier League match against Burnley, with Spurs taking 10 points from four games so far with Ange Postecoglou on the bench.
