Top 5 Son Heung Min Relationship Rumors Amid Tottenham Captain's Exit: Kim Go Eun, BLACKPINK's Jisoo and more

Tottenham captain Son Heung Min has been in the spotlight after he announced his exit from the club this summer. He has spent almost 10 years in the club. The South Korean international joined Spurs in August 2015 and celebrated his 10th year at the club by lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy back in May. The 33-year-old announced his decision to leave the club at the press conference alongside Thomas Frank in Seoul. Well, as he continues to remain in the headlines, let's take a look at the list of all his alleged past girlfriends. 1. Kim Min Ji Kim Min Ji is said to be a regular person known to be a broadcasting and entertainment major. Despite being a regular person, she attracted attention for her outstanding looks. Other than being spotted a couple of times, nothing major happened between them. 2. Minah Son Heung Min and Minah's alleged relationship became the topic of discussion after their photos from a late-night date were captured by the press. Her agency at that time had initially explained that these two were merely good friends, but later changed their position to admit that they were dating. 3. Yoo So Young Just a year after this, in 2015, there were rumors of Son dating former After School member Yoo So Young. Yoo's agency revealed that they were dating and confirmed the reports, but Son remained silent. Yoo later even personally admitted to the relationship on a broadcast after Son Heung Min returned to England, but they eventually fizzled out. 4. Han Yeon Soo Han Yeon Soo, aka Miss Korea's name was added to the list of girls dating Son. The rumors started after her posts coincided with Son's departure schedule, alongside photos of their matching couple items. 5. Jisoo In 2021, there were intense rumors of Son's relationship with BLCKPINK's Jisoo. The news of them dating came to the limelight when Jisoo watched Son Heung Min's games, and the bracelets the two wore were assumed to be couple bracelets. 6. Moon Ga Young The reports of Moon Ga Young and Son's dating spread like wildfire in 2023. It was even reported that the two were preparing for marriage, but this relationship, too, did not progress like other ones. 7. Kim Go Eun Kim Go Eun was the last female celebrity to have allegedly dated Son, but the rumors were later denied. In fact, the actress's agency also drew the line and denied the rumors.

Mary Kills People premiere shocks K-drama fans with euthanasia and same-sex themes

MBC's bold new drama Mary Kills People wasted no time making waves. Premiering on August 1, the series dove headfirst into two big taboo topics: euthanasia and underage same-sex attraction - both tackled within its very first episode. Veteran actress Lee Bo-young stars as Woo So-jung, an ER doctor who moonlights as a secret angel of death for terminally ill patients. Adapted from the Canadian series of the same name, the Korean remake reimagines the morally gray original with a culturally specific twist - one that's already igniting debate across Korean social media. Euthanasia enters the K-drama spotlight The opening sequence sets the tone: a gravely ill man named Choi Kang-yoon (played by special guest Lee Sang-yoon) calmly declares his intent to die. "This is my choice, and I feel happy and satisfied at this moment," he says, raising a glass of champagne dosed with pentobarbital. "How long will it take?" he asks. Woo So-jung's reply is emotionless: "Usually, it ends in an instant." And just like that -he's gone. Queer-coded teens raise eyebrows But the episode doesn't stop there. A provocative subplot features So-jung's teenage niece Jae-yeon (Kim Sang-ji) and her friend Woo-mi (Kang Na-eon), who spend a sleepover sharing moments that blur the line between platonic and romantic. "My mom thinks it's totally safe if it's just girls," Woo-mi scoffs. "She thinks she knows everything but knows nothing." The tension builds as the girls exchange lingering glances and tender compliments, including Woo-mi telling Jae-yeon, "Your eyes are really pretty." Pushing the boundaries of primetime From assisted dying to queer-coded adolescent intimacy, Mary Kills People is making it clear: this isn't your average K-drama. The premiere has already sparked fierce online discussion - some praising its plot while others are calling it deeply uncomfortable. Regardless of the views of K-drama fans, Mary Kills People has started a conversation Korea wasn't ready to have - but can no longer ignore. Episode 2 airs August 2 at 10 PM KST on MBC. For viewers abroad, fans can watch it on Prime Video. For all the latest K-drama, K-pop, and Hallyuwood updates, keep following our coverage here.
