Son Heung-min (Tottenham), the captain of the national football team, is a hot topic as he had an emotional encounter with a grandmother fan suffering from dementia.
On the 18th, YouTube channel “KFATV_South Korean football team” posted a video of Son Heung-min visiting and meeting his grandmother Jung Geum-nam in person.
According to the video, Son Heung-min met Jeong a day before the 6th match of the second round of Asian region qualifying for the “2026 Central and North America World Cup” on the 10th.

When asked what she wanted to do when she met Son Heung-min, Jeong replied in the video, “When I meet him, I want to hug him,” adding, “I try to watch everything every time I play.”
Before the meeting, Son Heung-min sent a video letter saying, “Hello, I am Son Heung-min, whom my grandmother loves and loves” and “I am so happy to meet my grandmother and I hope May that day come soon.”
Seeing this, the grandmother smiled and said, “I don’t know if it’s real. »
Ms. Jeong currently suffers from Louis Sotso dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
As soon as she saw Son Heung-min in person, she couldn’t hide her joy with tears in her eyes.
Netizens continued with touching comments, such as “It’s going to be amazing, grandma must be happy”, “Son Heung-min is amazing”, “I can feel his sincerity”, and “I think it’s his grandchild.”
