The U.S. has focused on Korean soccer players playing throughout Europe. It highlighted Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in, who are considered the three most successful.
The Washington Post reported on the 13th (local time) that the South Korean national soccer team is faltering in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying round, and the local clubs are struggling in the Asian Champions League, but the three stars of South Korean soccer are succeeding in Europe.
The first thing I introduced was Kim Min-jae, who is considered the best defender in the history of Korean soccer.
Kim Min-jae led the Bundesliga to the prestigious German club Bayern Munich and lifted his second league trophy on the European stage. Two years ago, he won the title in Italy's Serie A with Napoli.
The media mentioned that Kim Min-jae won two European trophies, but the biggest star of Korean soccer is Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min has yet to win the trophy. However, you can take that opportunity soon. He is eager to win the UEFA Europa League final against English Premier League (EPL) rivals Manchester United.
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min said, `We need every piece to complete the puzzle. In the end, I think the most important last piece is missing"I've been chasing the piece for 10 years. I really want to complete the puzzle this time."
Son Heung-min played in the UEFA Champions League final, which he lost to Liverpool in 2019. Now, he is the oldest member of the team to participate in the finals again.
Son Heung-min said, `There may never be another chance. I hope there will be no regrets left. "When I go back to Korea after the season, I want to show the brightest smile to Korean fans and Tottenham supporters," he said.
Son Heung-min returned from injury and reappeared on the field last weekend. He is likely to start against Manchester United. On the other hand, Lee Kang-in's situation is different.
Lee Kang-in hasn't had many chances to play at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) recently. He stayed on the bench in the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal. PSG are in the final.
The Washington Post argued that 'Lee Kang-in is rumored to be transferred to other clubs in Europe, and Kim Min-jae is also the same. Kim Min-jae is still willing to play for Munich, and Lee Kang-in seems likely to transfer.
The media said it is still unclear where the three stars of Korean soccer will be playing next season, but emphasized that the current focus is to lift the trophy in the European club competition and deliver good news to Korean fans.
