Monster defender’ Kim Min-jae (Napoli), who caused controversy by revealing that he wanted to focus on his team rather than the national team, admitted that he had cut off relations with Son Heung-min (Tottenham) on social media (SNS). He apologized for his misunderstanding.
Kim Min-jae said through his agency on the 1st, “I had a short thought regarding Son Heung-min, and I was wrong.”
Kim Min-jae said to the reporters after the evaluation match with Uruguay on the 28th of last month, “I am in a state of mental collapse.”
He was interpreted as meaning that he wanted to focus on his team rather than the national team, and fans were outraged.
On the 29th of last month, Min-jae Kim said on Instagram that “the meaning of being difficult was misrepresented,” and said that he had cherished his Taegeuk mark, and started evolving.
However, while Kim Min-jae was embroiled in controversy, Son Heung-min (Tottenham), on the contrary, drew attention by revealing his feelings on Instagram that he was convened to the national team during the A-match (match between national teams) in March.
At the same time, as traces of Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min’s relationship with their SNS accounts were captured, several speculations about the relationship between the two arose among soccer fans.
The two are now following on Instagram again.
Kim Min-jae said, “Heung-min hyung always posts such a post after the national team convocation, but I misunderstood because of the interview I had the day before. I acted outside of common sense.”
Right after the Uruguay game, he also explained the ‘interview in question’ again.
Kim Min-jae confessed, “As you know, I went to a good team in a short period of time and received a lot of attention from the public and media. As I was in this situation so suddenly, the things I did in the national team before became difficult.”
“I was more sensitive to the scene and situations, and I said it because I was stressed under the pressure to do better,” he said. “I’ve never been to the playground,” he said.
He added, “I didn’t ask the national team to be removed from the call-up list or to let the game rest. To be honest, I said that it was mentally burdensome and difficult to come to the national team and play.”
There were many speculations that there was a conflict with a senior player in the online community and media regarding the reason why Kim Min-jae had difficulty convening the national team. 안전놀이터
Kim Min-jae drew a line about this, saying, “It’s not true.”
He dismissed it, saying, “It’s really embarrassing to say that the 96-year-old line in the national team is forming a faction. I have nothing more to say about this.”
In addition, he confessed that what had been bothering him was the ‘transfer rumor’ that came out through the media.
Kim Min-jae said, “Actually, I avoided interviews and treated reporters hostilely. It was because I thought that I was harassed by various transfer rumors every time I transferred.”
“It started in China, but I was immature when I was young. I think that feeling has continued until now,” he said. I feel bad,” he apologized.
