Popular South Korean Soccer player Son Heung-min might be coming to Fortnite. It seems 2025 is going to be a lot of firsts for this Tottenham Hotspur forward. Despite being one of the best Premier League players of this generation, Song lifted his first ever trophy in 2025 for his senior club level career.
As things stand, this soccer star might get featured in Fortnite for the first time as well, as a playable character in the game. However, this is not the first appearance of Son in video games, as he previously featured in PUBG: Battlegrounds in 2021.

As per a recently revealed news article by Korean media house
Yonhap News
(via Google Translator), Fortnite is going to collaborate with South Korean Soccer superstar Son Heung-min.
Epic Games Korea, the domestic division of the game company, announced plans to expand the debut of Fortnite to the domestic market during a press conference on June 11 at the Andaz Hotel in Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Despite Fortnite's global popularity, its player base in the Korean market is dipping gradually, and that is why Epic Games has planned so many things keeping in mind the Korean Fortnite fans, like a BTS collaboration as well besides Son's entry.

CEO of Epic Games Korea Park Sung-chul remarked Fortnite as a 'sore finger' and that is why the domestic branch is looking to incorporate Korean culture in the game.
Yonhap News has also confirmed that the collaboration bundle featuring Tottenham Hotspur Captain Song Heung-min will be released on June 21, 2025, which will include the Son outfit, his signature 'Click' pose as an emote, and many more stuffs.
