According to Chosun Ilbo, Son was honored as the top scorer of the Premier League, becoming the first Asian player to win the award. The news not only triggered warm congratulations from Tottenham's coaching staff and players, but also a congratulatory message from South Korea's president, Yun Seok-yul.
This honor is not only a reward for Son's hard work throughout the season, but also a common glory for the entire Asian soccer community," Yoon Seok-yue mentioned in his congratulatory letter. Sun's win as top scorer conveys a strong expectation and is an encouragement to Korean citizens who are struggling with the new coronavirus outbreak.
Yoon Seok-yul emphasized, "This is the honor of being the top scorer without needing a penalty kick, and the national pride is overwhelming. I look forward to Son leading the Korean team to ignite passion and convey emotion at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar in November. Once again, I congratulate Son on his award, and I will do my best to create a better future together with the nation."
Facing the media interview, Sun couldn't hide his excitement, "This is an achievement I've dreamed of since I was a child, I can't believe it, and I'm incredibly touched inside."
