You dont have to go as far to Levercusen for blaming for Son's current military predicament. Fuck ex Korean national team manager Hong. Better yet fuck KFA. Dont get me started there fucking low and embarrassing and lol. I am not saying Son might do the same but I've seen some Korean footballers who got exempted of military then for some reason just stop getting better. So I opt to just enjoy and appreciate what I see in Sonny, Sonaldo, Heung Min Messi every chance these days. What's happening in this Club is pretty intriguing too. The stadium, coach, players, the team, pay structure and the league etc.
The military thing for Sonny, I am not in his camp looking into this matter nor anyone paying me for an idea, so all I will say at this point is that I'll be surprised if Son actually indeed end up in Military in 24 months like many including you and I worry that might happen. Many things can happen in 24 months. I think you said it yourself somewhere.. the "special exemption". Lets look at that one for lack of better. These special exemtion are based on individuals in these case athletes achieving outstanding goals worldwide hence elevating Korean national prestige. What if Son didnt hit the Gold in one of those events left for him but truly excelled at Spurs and contributed the club win the CL in tremendous amount and the way club won the CL was so fantastic and dramatic in recent footbal history that the whole world looks at Heung Min Son and the county he came from a bit differently. Would that qualify for elevating national prestige for Korea? If that didn't hit it yet are we getting warm enough to stir up something? Coincidentally I just ran into this article from a Korean media that I think is angling towards it.
