On May 19, Beijing time, the Korean media broke one heavy news after another, Sun Junho's Korean and Chinese agent accounts do not match, the cloud of suspicion shrouds the incident.
At the same time, they threw out for the first time the topic of the Chinese Super League regulation fee, and speculated that Sun Junho's incident might have something to do with it.
On a TV program on CBS Korea, two hosts, Kim Hyun Jung and Kang Seung Hee (neither of whom is a manager), commented on the Son Jun Ho incident. They insisted that they were not pressured and were skeptical about Son Jun Ho's problems with his managerial team.
Sun Junho's special feature as a domestic player is having two agents - Korean and Chinese Super League. Although the accounts of the two sides have not been reconciled, the Chinese Super League agent may be suspected of taking bribes.
The Korean media revealed that the Chinese Super League has strict limits on wages and transfer fees, designed to protect fair competition between teams and the interests of small and medium-sized clubs. The two hosts pointed out that Son Junho's Korean agent has been paid a salary in his contract, and if other income exists, it could be related to private deals with Chinese agents, foreigners or coaches.
It's worth noting that the adjustment fee for Chen Xuyuan's tenure doesn't seem to have worked, with Shenhua Xavi, Shenzhen Jintro and Port Arnautovic all failing to pay this fee.
According to Kang Seung-hee, Son Jun-ho, as a talented player, does not need to bribe others. Not only did he win the MVP, he was also favored by clubs in Italy and England. Kim Hyun-jung, however, questioned why Son Jun-ho returned to Korea midway through the Chinese Super League, why he was stopped before boarding the plane, and why he was reported.
Son Jungho's transfer fee is said to be around 6 billion won, which is about 4.1 million euros. The two hosts confirmed that Jeonbuk Hyundai did receive this amount. The rumors about a five-year sentence are nothing more than rumors, and Son Jungho has denied all charges and will be defended by a team of lawyers.
South Korean media have pointed out that the problems faced by Son Junho may involve yin and yang contracts. Although the income of players in the Chinese Super League is not fully publicized, there have been reports showing that there are discrepancies between the actual income of some players and the amount of their contracts. Some clubs even privately pay extra wages to players.
The new vice president of the Korean Football Association (KFA), Han Jun-hee, also revealed that Shandong Taishan's coach Hao Wei and his agent are having problems, and that it is not yet possible to ascertain whether Sun Jun-ho was involved in the club's related activities. Once involved, he will face an indefensible situation whether he is caught or not.
