Son Heung-min, the South Korean football sensation, has been likened to the iconic David Beckham in his home country. Known as the ‘David Beckham of South Korea,’ Sonny mania has taken over, with enthusiastic fans mobbing him wherever he goes, much like Goldenballs experienced worldwide. Son has been making waves in the MLS since his move to Los Angeles, following in the footsteps of Beckham’s successful stint with LA Galaxy.
From the bustling streets of Seoul to the vibrant atmosphere of Los Angeles, Son Heung-min has captured the hearts of fans on both sides of the globe. His star power has been on full display in the US, where he has been lighting up the MLS with his remarkable skills on the field. As the World Cup approaches, Son is poised to be the poster boy for football fever in America, a dream scenario that Beckham himself envisioned during his time in LA Galaxy.
In his new home with LAFC, Son has wasted no time in making an impact, scoring eight goals in just nine appearances. His electrifying performances have endeared him to the passionate LAFC fanbase, who have embraced him with open arms. The move to Los Angeles has been a strategic one for Son, allowing him to thrive in a new environment and continue to showcase his talent on a different stage. Not to mention, the large Korean community in LA has made it the perfect place for Son to settle and feel at home away from the Premier League.
