On August 3, during Son’s farewell match in London, Park Seo Joon joined the crowd of fans and supporters paying tribute to Asia’s most decorated footballer, Son Heung Min. But while many came to cheer, the What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim actor offered something more profound: a small, deliberate gesture that spoke volumes.
Park Seo Joon’s Heartfelt Gesture and Words
When stepping onto the field, Park wore flat-soled shoes —not sneakers—carefully avoiding any damage to the pitch. This subtle sign of respect ensured that Son could play in perfect conditions for his final game with Spurs. The moment was captured in fan cams and GIFs that quickly went viral.

“The actor born in 1988 kicked the ball to Son Heung Min… and then hugged his close friend warmly,” one fan wrote, while others dubbed it a “perfect 10 moment.”
Later, Park Seo Joon shared his admiration publicly: “Koreans lost sleep after hearing Son Heung Min would leave Tottenham. He is our pride.” The sentiment echoed across social media, where users hailed Son as a “national treasure” and “the greatest Asian footballer in Premier League history.”
Their enduring friendship has been a source of inspiration. Featured in the documentary Sonsational, Son once said: “He’s always had my back, no matter what. There’s so much I’ve learned from him.”
More Than Just a Fan — A True Brother in Spirit
Over the years, Park Seo Joon has been spotted at multiple Spurs matches, and his bond with Son extends to Son’s family. In an earlier interview, Park revealed, “I was told by his father that if I ever had a chance to come to London, I should go see Son play. So I did.”

From sharing a ball on the pitch to respecting the turf beneath their feet, Park Seo Joon’s actions speak to a deep-rooted friendship that transcends fame and titles.

In a world where public gestures often feel performative, Park’s quiet show of support felt authentic—and fans noticed. In a single moment, he reminded everyone that real friendship isn’t loud; it’s thoughtful, constant, and full of care.
