A video dedicated to the English Premier League (EPL) for Son Heung-min was also released.
EPL released a video dedicated to Son on its official channel on the 7th (Korea time). The seven-minute video, titled 'Son Heung-min, 10 Years of Smile, Goal, Jumping', showed Son's journey at Tottenham over the past decade.
Son Heung-min left the EPL stage on the 7th after his journey at Tottenham by joining LA FC. It's been 10 years. Son Heung-min has already made history as a Tottenham legend. In August 2015, he left Leverkusen to join Tottenham and set foot on the England stage. It's been a decade of companionship. In the meantime, Son Heung-min has reached the peak in the EPL, writing achievements that could not have been imagined by an Asian player. He failed to reach the top in the 2019 European Champions League final, but in 2020, he won the FIFA Puskas Award for his 72m wonder goal against Burnley.

In the 2021-2022 season, he won the EPL Golden Boot and became Asia's first EPL top scorer. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Puskas are the first and only Asian players to date. And he finished his last as a true legend by breaking Tottenham's spectatorship in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min wore the captain's armband and delivered the gift of the Europa League (UEL) trophy to his team. It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.
Colleagues also said goodbye to Son Heung-min at the end. Tottenham teammates also delivered long messages to Son Heung-min through personal SNS, and some colleagues posted photos of Son Heung-min's statue on their personal SNS, tagged the club's official account, and insisted on building the statue.
The EPL also did not forget its last courtesy to Son Heung-min. He celebrated the end of EPL legend Son Heung-min by pouring his affection on the video dedicated to Son Heung-min. The video meticulously contained signature scenes, including Son Heung-min's score against Burnley.

Fans also cheered for the release of the video. Some fans said, `Son Heung-min is an EPL legend. Now I can comfortably dislike Tottenham", 'Legends overcoming language and race' he praised. In particular, there were many reactions that Son Heung-min was loved by many fans in the EPL beyond Tottenham.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min also expressed his desire to finish as a legend in LA on the 7th, just like EPL. "I can't guarantee that it's going to be good here because I've played well in Europe. It starts again from zero. I want to finish with a legend as much as I start from zero. Everyone tried and worked hard to get me, so I want to give back what I got. That's the way I've lived. As much as it starts at zero, I hope it's called a legend when we break up."
