The match between Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich of the Coupang Play Series was held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of August 3rd. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min and Munich’s Kim Min-jae being in a match together resulted in the long-awaited “Korean National Team Confrontation.”
Before the kickoff began in earnest, the audience was shown on the screen. Actor Park Seo-joon was also spotted. Park appeared to come to watch the game with close friends Jung Yoo-mi and Peakboy.
Park Seo-joon is famous as Son’s best friend. In the tvN documentary “Sonsational” featuring Son’s life in the U.K. in 2019, he came to watch Son’s matches in London and they had dinner together. Once, when asked what Son Heung-min is like in an interview in the past, Park Seo-joon said, “I saved Son Heung-min as ‘Son Shine’ on my mobile phone. That’s just how Son Heung-min is.” Since then, Park has boasted his close relationship with Son as he visited the U.K. to watch Son Heung-min’s games.
Right below where Park Seo-joon, Jung Yoo-mi and Peakboy sat, there was also Seolhyun from AOA. Next to Seolhyun, former group member Jimin wearing a hat and mask was also seen. They were not the only ones who visited the stadium. Jeon Hyun-moo and Jang Ye-won, two former announcers who are working under the same agency, also visited the stadium.
Meanwhile, the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich began with New Jeans’ opening performance. New Jeans also prepared for a half-time performance following the opening of the game, boosting the mood of the match.
