UEFA Final: Park Seo Joon celebrates bestie Son Heung Min's win with passionate hug amid latter's GF extortion case
Park Seo Joon is not just a Wooga Squad member. He is also close to a South Korean footballer. The Gyeongseong Creature actor has once again shown his unwavering support for his close friend, football superstar Son Heung Min. A viral video circulating on X captures Son Heung Min warmly hugging Park Seo Joon as they leap in celebration. The joy on their faces speaks volumes—Park Seo Joon's excitement and pride shine through as he shares this unforgettable victory moment with his closest friend. On May 22, Son Heung Min, captain of Tottenham Hotspur, reached a significant milestone in his career by winning his first major club trophy—the 2024-25 UEFA Europa League. Following the victory, Son Heung Min took to social media to share his joy, posting images that included Park Seo Joon celebrating alongside him. Despite their different professional fields, the actor and the footballer have maintained a strong friendship, often publicly supporting each other through life's highs and lows. Among the shared photos, Son Heung Min proudly captioned one 'Champions! Come on you Spurs,' highlighting the momentous occasion. Park Seo Joon, despite his busy schedule, was present at the celebration, seen holding the trophy and sharing the moment with his friend. The images capture Son Heung Min's emotional connection to this achievement as he kissed the trophy and embraced his teammates in heartfelt celebration. However, amid these triumphant moments, Son Heung Min is also facing a personal challenge. In 2023, a blackmail case emerged involving his girlfriend, who allegedly claimed to be pregnant with his child and demanded 300 million won. Reports indicate that Son Heung Min made the payment before the pregnancy was terminated, but the legal proceedings and public scrutiny continue to unfold. In such challenging times, having a loyal friend like Park Seo Joon by his side is undoubtedly a source of strength for Son Heung Min. Their friendship has been well-documented, transcending their distinct career paths. Back in 2019, during tvN's special documentary Sonsational, which followed Son Heung Min's life, the footballer openly expressed his trust and admiration for Park Seo Joon. He described the actor as 'someone who's always on my side, no matter what I do, and someone I can learn a lot from.' Park Seo Joon also revealed that Son Heung Min saved his contact name as 'Sonshine' in his phone, underscoring their close bond. This deep friendship between the actor and the athlete exemplifies how genuine support can bridge different worlds, standing strong through both victories and personal trials.

The actor contributed money to aid a young boy's life-saving surgery for a brain tumour. Photo: Instagram/Park Seo Joon Park Seo Joon, 36, uploaded a photo of a handwritten letter from the boy's family, who expressed their appreciation for his support that enabled their son to undergo a successful stem cell transplant. The family recounted their devastation in their letter upon learning of the boy's brain tumour diagnosis in January last year. Feeling hopeful They wrote that they felt helpless both mentally and financially because of the surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, along with the overwhelming treatment costs. The family began to feel hopeful after the boy went through his first stem cell surgery. The son was surprised to learn that a celebrity had sponsored his surgery. The family wrote that the boy expressed his desire to meet Park Seo Joon in person after his recovery and hoped to become famous so that he, too, could help others. They added that for the first time in a long while, it brought a smile to their faces. Park Seo Joon, who's popular for his roles in dramas like ' What's Wrong With Secretary Kim ' (the one where he's the charming boss!), ' Itaewon Class ' (the one about the guy starting his own bar), and most recently, ' Gyeongseong Creature ,' made his big Hollywood debut in the movie ' The Marvels ' just in 2023. Hope and courage The family expressed their gratitude, saying that the actor's invaluable support has given the family hope and courage. They aspire, along with their child, to become a family that extends help to others. Park Seo Joon responded by sharing the letter on Instagram, reiterating his commitment to 'live well' and expressing his hope to meet the boy after his recovery. He also provided a Samsung Medical Centre letter verifying that his donation allowed a patient to undergo surgery. Park Seo Joon has shown charity before. Back in 2020, he showed his big heart by donating a pretty significant amount—100 million won (S$92,000)—to help people in South Korea who were affected by the floods. Then, in 2023, when terrible earthquakes hit Turkey and Syria, he didn't hesitate to donate another 100 million won to help with the relief efforts there too. It's really admirable how he steps up to help when people are going through tough times. A popular and accomplished actor Park SeoJoon (박서준), born Park Yong Kyu (박용규) on Dec 16, 1988, is a highly popular and accomplished South Korean actor. He made his entertainment debut in 2011 but gained significant recognition for his charming and versatile performances in numerous successful television dramas and films.
