Jo Se Ho is said to be the top contributor to the appearance of Son Heung Min’s father on “Yoo Quiz” after 3 years of convincing.
Son Woong Jung, the father of Son Heung Min (30, Tottenham), the first Asian to be named top scorer in the 2021-2022 English Premier League (EPL) season and the captain of the Korean national soccer team, is considered the No. 1 guest recruitment of every station’s talk show.
Son Woong Jung personally coached Son Heung Min when he was a child and raised him to the current world-class rank. He once drew attention with his cold remarks, “Son Heung Min is not a world-class player.”
Son Woong Jung will appear as a guest on tvN’s entertainment program “Yoo Quiz on the Block” (hereinafter referred to as “Yoo Quiz”) on Dec 14th. This is a timely casting because it is right after Son Heung Min showed his fighting spirit despite his injury at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
According to tvN, the production team of “Yoo Quiz” has spent 3 years recruiting Son Woong Jung. It is rumored that MC Jo Se Ho of “Yoo Quiz” was the decisive element that changed Son’s mind, who repeatedly refused to appear.
An insider hinted, “Jo Se Ho is close to Son Heung Min’s aunt Mrs. Gil.” Gil, who is also an influencer in the clothing industry, is currently serving as a representative of NOS7, Son Heung Min’s clothing brand.
Jo Se Ho, who is close to Gil, accidentally met Son Woong Jung at a sauna facility and talked about recruiting Son Heung Min. With support from Mrs. Gil, Jo Se Ho directly invited Son Woong Jung to his show, face to face. Even the production team of “Yoo Quiz” is surprised that Jo Se Ho played such a big role in inviting a guest that they couldn’t invite.”
Meanwhile, Son Woong Jung will talk to Yoo Jae Seok and Jo Se Ho about how he has trained and educated Son Heung Min into a successful player like today. The episode will also tell the story of Son Heung Min’s early days playing in the European professional league, and the story of Son’s journey at the World Cup.
