Lee Kang-in (22, Paris Saint-Germain) was not a Korean star, but an 'Asian superstar'. He arrived in Osaka with a bright expression in the hospitality of Japanese fans.
On the 23rd (Korean time), PSG announced the team's arrival in Osaka, Japan through the club's social media. Kylian Mbappe, who was embroiled in a feud with the club, was excluded, but Neymar, who was unable to play due to injury, accompanied him.
Lee Kang-in also stepped on Japanese soil. He kept the seat next to Neymar before departing from France, and even when he got off the charter plane, he followed Neymar right after him. He seems to stick around in France and Japan.
Lee Kang-in also boasted a hot popularity in Japan. As soon as he got out of the airport, he greeted the fans with a smile.
He didn't forget fan service either. 토토 Lee Kang-in held an on-the-spot autograph session by signing papers and uniforms that many fans took out, and Japanese fans were also happy shouting "Thank you Lee Kang-in!" Lee Kang-in is best friends with Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), a promising prospect Japan boasts, and he appeared to be a superstar in Japan as well, as he entered PSG for the first time in Asian history.
Contrary to concerns, Lee Kang-in had a bright face throughout the video. He smiled as he talked with his colleagues from the moment he got off the plane, and he continued to smile in front of his fans. Looking at the photos released by PSG, Lee Kang-in was smiling widely even on the plane.
Previously, Lee Kang-in grabbed his hamstring and caused a lot of concern. He started in a pre-season friendly match against Le Havre held at 0:00 on the 22nd. He showed off his unique ability to break off pressure and splendid individual skills, and made a mark, but was replaced due to an unexpected injury.
At that time, after running once in the 42nd minute of the first half, Lee Kang-in suddenly grabbed the back of his right thigh and complained of his pain. Eventually, he left the arena immediately. The exact inside story is unknown, but considering the location and circumstances of his injury, it seems that he has a problem with his hamstring.
The upcoming Asian tour has also become uncertain. Hamstring injuries usually require at least two to three weeks to recover. Fans were more worried as PSG visited Korea on the 3rd of next month to face off against Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Fortunately, Lee Kang-in was included in the tour list and arrived safely in Japan. Even when she came down the stairs of the plane, she seemed completely undisturbed. Considering that Nordy Mukielle, Fresnel Kimpembe, and Alexandre Letellie, who are suffering from injuries, did not accompany Lee Kang-in, it seems that there is no big problem for Lee Kang-in. According to reporter Abdelach Bulma, Lee Kang-in will receive additional tests during the tour.
Meanwhile, PSG will face off against Al Nasr (Saudi Arabia) with Cristiano Ronaldo in Osaka, Japan on the 25th, then meet Cerezo Osaka (Japan) and Inter Milan (Italy) one after another. Afterwards, they will stop by Korea for the first time in the club's history and face Jeonbuk on August 3. Lee Kang-in is also expected to play at least briefly if the injury is not serious.
