At a press conference in Seoul, he expressed deep gratitude to the fans and the club, emphasizing the need for a new environment to continue challenging himself.

In the friendly match against Newcastle United, after being substituted in the 64th minute, he was given a guard of honor and received long-standing ovations, an emotional moment for both him and the fans.

Tottenham’s new manager, Thomas Frank, praised Son as a true legend, saying the match in Seoul was a perfect farewell to his decade at the club.
