Son Heung Min provided a written statement to the police regarding an ongoing blackmail case involving him. A man and a woman were arrested last week for allegedly blackmailing the soccer player by claiming that the woman, identified as Yang, was pregnant with Son Heung Min's child.

According to reports, Son's statement contains specific details about his interactions with Yang. She is currently in custody for blackmail, while another man, surnamed Yong, is also being investigated for collusion with Yang.

Son Heung Min stated that he returned to Korea on May 23, 2023, in preparation for the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers. He met Yang on May 31 and June 1 before departing for Singapore on June 2 for an away match.

Son's camp revealed that Yang informed him of her pregnancy about a month after their meeting. Son suggested meeting in person to discuss, but Yang demanded money instead and declined the meeting.

The news of Son's meetings with Yang has caused a stir among Korean netizens online. Opinions are divided, with some defending Son and questioning the nature of his relationship with Yang, while others criticize his actions and call for consequences.
