South Korea Captain Son Picked for Fourth World Cup The upcoming World Cup has brought attention to the selection of South Korean players, including captain Son Heung min, who will compete in his fourth tournament for the country.
As a seasoned veteran of international football, Son's inclusion is not surprising, but it highlights the toll that competition can take on athletes' physical and mental well being.
Son's decision to switch allegiance from Germany to South Korea was widely publicized last year, sparking debate about the motivations behind such moves.
