Son Heung Min has submitted a written statement to police in connection with an ongoing blackmail case involving a woman identified as Yang.
According to MBC on May 21st, Son submitted the statement to Gangnam Police Station last week as part of the investigation. In it, he confirmed that he arrived in Korea on May 23rd last year to prepare for the second round of the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers, and that he met Yang between May 31st and June 1st.
He acknowledged seeing her up until June 2nd, the day before he left for an away match in Singapore.
Son’s side claims that about a month later, Yang told him she was pregnant. He allegedly suggested meeting in person to talk, but her side demanded money instead and refused the meeting.
Reports say that police currently have no plans to summon Son for in-person questioning, given the details provided in the written statement.

Meanwhile, Son shared joyful news today as Tottenham Hotspur claimed victory in the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League final, defeating Manchester United. The win marks Son’s first major trophy since joining the club and caps off a long-awaited milestone in his career.
“Let’s say I’m a legend,” he joked to TNT Sports after the match. “Why not! 17 years, nobody has done it, so let’s say with amazing players, I am probably a legend of the club. This is what I’ve always dreamed of. Today is the day it happened. I am the happiest man in the world.”
Despite a rocky league season and tough times under manager Ange Postecoglou, Son praised the unity within the squad. “When you look at the whole season, there will always be some situations you have a tough time, but we as players always stuck together.”
“I felt the pressure. I wanted it so badly. In the past seven days, I was dreaming about this game every night. It finally happened and I can sleep easily now,” he added. “We can celebrate today, so let’s just make it one we will never forget, and maybe I will miss the flight tomorrow!”
To his Korean fans, Son expressed heartfelt gratitude: “I’m proud to be Korean. Thank you for supporting us like family, even at 4AM Korean time.”
