Lee Kang-in went directly from Paris, France to London, England to meet Son Heung-min, and a dramatic reconciliation took place as the two players met.
Son Heung-min posted a photo of him shoulder-to-shoulder with Lee Kang-in, saying, “I made a lot of mistakes when I was young and showed a bad appearance, but I think I can be in my current position because of the stinging advice and teachings of good seniors every time,” and continued, “All the players will take special care of Kang-in so that he will never do anything wrong again.”
He also said, “It is one of the captain's duties to do something bad for the team, so even if we are in the same situation again, we will act for the team,” and added, “After that, Kangin is having a hard time. Please forgive me with a generous heart just once.”
In the meantime, Son Heung-min explained, “Among the stories that come out at some point, the contents of splitting the team within the national team are irrelevant to the facts, and we have always tried to look at only one place as a team,” and added, “We sincerely apologize for causing a disturbance problem and will try harder to make the Korean national team a growing team with this opportunity.”

Hello, I'm Son Heungmin. I'm going to talk about something a little heavy and difficult today.
Kangin sincerely reflected on himself and made a sincere apology to all the players of the national team, including me.
When I was young, I made a lot of mistakes and showed a bad appearance, but I think I can be here now because of the stinging advice and teachings of good seniors every time.
We will take special care of all our players so that Kangin can grow into a better person and a better player as a senior member of the national team and as a captain so that he will never do this wrong again.
I don't think I did a good job and I think it was enough to be criticized. However, I believe it is one of the captain's responsibilities to act in such a bad way for the team, so even if I am in the same situation again, I will act for the team. However, I will try to lead the team wisely and wisely from now on.
Since then, Kangin has been having such a hard time. Please forgive me with a generous heart. As the captain of the national team, please.
And some of the stories about the division within the national team have nothing to do with the facts, and we have always tried to look at only one place as a team.
Despite being loved by soccer, we sincerely apologize for causing such a noisy problem, and we will try harder to make the Korean national team a growing team with this opportunity.
