Thursday, May 15, 2025 - Tottenham Captain, Son Heung-min, has reportedly submitted a complaint to South Korean police over a woman who has allegedly blackmailed him with a false pregnancy claim.
A woman in her 20s and a man in his 40s are being investigated by police
in Seoul on charges of attempted extortion, according to the Yonhap News
Agency and The Korea Times.
Son reportedly said that they falsely told him the woman was pregnant in
an effort to extort several hundred million won from him. One British pound is
roughly equivalent to 1,859 South Korean won.
His legal team claim that she claimed she was pregnant in June last year
and demanded money in return for remaining silent.
The Tottenham captain, 32, who does not have a wife or any known
children, filed his complaint to police last week.
He has previously hinted that he does not want to have any kids
until he is retired because he would like to devote himself to football.
The forward's contract with Spurs expires next year.
'My father says this and I agree, as well. When you marry, the number one
will be family, wife and kids, and then football. I want to make sure that
while I play at the top level, football can be number one,' he told The
Guardian in 2019.
'You don’t know how long you can play at the top level. When you retire,
or when you are 33 or 34, you can still have a long life with your family.
He has, in the past, dated Korean pop stars Bang Min-ah and Yoo
So-young.
