Son Heungmin said he values the atmosphere of being with the fans more than the result of the match, and added that he is also looking forward to the unique experience of playing with players from other teams. MLS introduced Son Heungmin as being highly popular among players, and some players drew attention by naming Son Heungmin as the player they would most like to play with.
