Son Heung-min (LAFC), who entered the U.S. stage, has been named as a member of the North Korea-China-US national team composed of players playing on the North Korea-China-US stage selected by a media outlet.
Mexican soccer content media 'Yovenes Footballistas' recently set up a best-event with players playing in the U.S. (Canada) and Mexican leagues belonging to the North American Football Federation.
Once the dominant European soccer player 'Walkle' appeared in large numbers. South Korean captain Son Heung-min, who joined LA FC in August after playing in the English Premier League (EPL) for 10 years from 2015 to this year, was selected as a left-hander for the three-top.
He has played four MLS games in the LA FC uniform, scoring one goal and one assist. In the 28th round against New England, he scored his first offensive point since advancing to the U.S. and made his debut goal against Dallas.

Although his playing time in the U.S. is short, the EPL star's entry into the U.S. is causing tremendous repercussions locally. The MLS secretariat said LA FC's recruitment of Son Heung-min is a choice that will shake up the entire league, saying it is a huge recruitment that will catch two birds with one stone: performance and box office. In fact, LA FC's SNS followers have more than doubled since Son Heung-min was recruited, and the number of spectators and uniforms are also increasing rapidly.
Along with Son Heung-min, Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and former French national team Angre-Pierre Gignac (Tigress) made up the three-top of the North and Central America Best. Messi left Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 and has been playing for Miami for two years. Gignac, who has played for Lorient, Toulouse and Marseille, has continued his career in Mexico for 10 years since 2015 in Tigress.
Son Heung-min's motivation to advance to MLS is the Bayern Munich legend 'Thomas Müller (Vanco Whitecaps), the Messi's escort'Hodrigo de Paul (Miami), the Colombian ace'Hames Rodriguez (Leon), and Barcelona-born Jordi Alba (Miami).
