[스포츠서울 정다워기자] As it became known that Son Heung-min’s’W Ceremony’ was a promise to a child cancer patient, praise for him continues.
After scoring, Son Heung-min often performs celebrations with joy by making a’W’ shape with his hand toward the camera. After scoring a goal in the UEFA Europa League match against Wolfsburg on the 19th, he took this action with Gareth Bale.
It is known that this ceremony, which Son Heung-min frequently does, stems from an appointment with a child cancer patient. Son Heung-min met Lee Sang-ho, a child cancer patient, by appearing on the famous YouTube channel Shoot For Love in the past. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with incurable diseases, arranged a meeting, and Son Heung-min built friendships by playing games and talking with children.
At this time, Son Heung-min promised to do a ceremony to make a W shape. He said, “I will do this ceremony for each other. I will remember it as much as possible so that I can do this ceremony,” he said. Son Heung-min, who has not forgotten the promise, has kept the promise since then and is still using it as a favorite celebration. This kind of talk was known to England.
The British Sports Bible explained and illuminated the meaning of Son Heung-min’s ceremony through a report on the 20th. The media applauded Son Heung-min, saying,’Sometimes meeting sports heroes in person is a big help,’ saying that Son Heung-min will help patients recover. If you look at the SNS reaction introduced by Sports Bible, you can see that Son Heung-min’s talk is becoming a hot topic among the public as well.
Among British netizens,’It’s a lovely move. Responses such as’A player of a really sure class’ and’I learned that I can like Son Heung-min more than I used to.’ It is an atmosphere where Son Heung-min’s every move, especially in the UK, continues beyond Korea.
