During the exhibition match between the South Korean national soccer team and El Salvador held in Provo, U.S., some foreign fans chanted Son Heungmin's name, hoping to see him play.
The game remained tightly contested at 00 until the middle of the first half, and during the hydration break, chants of “We want Son Heungmin” rang out from the stands. One fan was reportedly waving an LAFC jersey and asking for Son Heungmin to be brought on.
Son Heungmin was listed on the bench rather than in the starting lineup that day, and in the previous match against Trinidad and Tobago, he started and scored two goals in the first half. Many of the local spectators were wearing South Korea national team or Tottenham jerseys, and they gave a loud cheer when Son Heungmin began warming up.
