Gong Yoo meets Son Heung Min to celebrate Tottenham's Europa League win, shows off signed jersey: 'Respect'
Gong Yoo, the globally beloved actor known for roles in Goblin and Squid Game, recently turned heads on Instagram after posting a series of photos with none other than Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung Min. The post wasn't just a celebrity meet-up—it was a celebration of Son's recent monumental achievement, and fans couldn't get enough.
Gong Yoo drops new pics with Son Heung Min
This season might be one of Son Heung Min's most celebrated yet, and fellow Korean superstar Gong Yoo made sure to acknowledge it in a personal and public way. The actor took to Instagram on June 19 to share a carousel of images with the Tottenham Hotspur captain, weeks after Son led his team to a historic finish.
In the set of five photos uploaded to Gong Yoo's official Instagram account, the actor and the footballer are seen posing side-by-side indoors, with Gong Yoo proudly flaunting a Tottenham FC cap and Son's gold medal.
One photo also features a picture of a signed jersey, clearly gifted to him by Son. It features the number "7" and the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation logo with the motto "TO CARE IS TO DO". The handwritten Korean message on the signed jersey translates, "It was so good. I shouldn't send it, but thanks to your constant support, I will overcome no matter what happens! Always thankful! And always for me, cheer up! To the supporting fan, I won't forget you! Always be healthy, no matter what happens in life; I will be there for the fans! I love you!" "Respect", Gong Yoo captioned the post.
Tottenham Hotspur win first trophy in 17 years
Tottenham Hotspur finally ended their long-standing title drought by clinching the 2025 UEFA Europa League title, defeating Manchester United 1-0 in a dramatic final held in Bilbao, Spain, on May 22, 2025. The victory marked the Spurs' first major trophy in 17 years.
The spotlight also shone brightly on Son Heung Min, who captained the side to victory and became the first Asian captain to lift a European trophy. His leadership and consistent performance throughout the season have earned him admiration worldwide and cemented his legacy as one of the most influential Asian footballers in history.
Gong Yoo's possible Squid Game return
While Son is dominating headlines in sports, Gong Yoo remains a mainstay in K-entertainment circles. Known for his emotional depth in Train to Busan and his nuanced portrayal in Goblin, Gong Yoo recently earned renewed buzz with his brief but unforgettable role in Squid Game as the mysterious recruiter.
Now, with Squid Game Season 3 releasing in just a week, fans are eager to know whether Gong Yoo will be seen in the final instalment. Although his character had died in the second season, conspiracy theories have hinted at his possible return.
Squid Game season 3 will premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2025.
