Park Seo Joon had a blast with Son Heung Min after UEFA win amid footballer's extortion and abortion row with ex-girlfriend
Popular Korean actor, Park Seo Joon was recently seen cheering and posing with South Korea's star footballer Son Heung Min during the UEFA Europa League final, celebrating the team's first major club trophy win. The Tottenham Hotspur skipper Son is currently embroiled in a controversy involving a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend who was allegedly carrying his child. On May 15, the Gangnam Police Station detained a woman in her 20s and her current boyfriend, a man in his 40s. They were arrested in a blackmail case after trying to extort money from Son, who earlier filed a complaint claiming to be the victim. The story exploded online and later intensified with new revelations made by The Dispatch, revealing the timeline of when money was paid to the woman for an abortion. Also read: Did Park Seo Joon hint at Kim Soo Hyun's scandal? YouTuber calls their friendship 'weaker than paper' Son Heung Min's popularity has clearly taken a hit in light of his recent controversy, which had already turned sour a few days ago after an old video resurfaced, showing him with infamous Burning Sun scandal figure Jung Joon Young. However, that didn't stop the Gyeongsang Creature star, Park Seo Joon, from celebrating bestie Son's big moment. In a now-viral video, the two are seen hugging and jumping in joy after Tottenham's big win. The duo even posed together for the camera. Son shared pictures and wrote: 'Champions! Come on, you Spurs.' Their friendship goes way back. In fact, Son once said during his 2019 documentary Sonsational, 'Park is always on my side, no matter what I do. I can learn a lot from him.' The Itaewon Class star, who is also a Wooga Squad member, being a close friend of BTS member V and other Korean stars like Park Hyung-sik and Choi Woo Shik, even saved Son's name in his phone as 'Sonshine.' 박서준 배우님 안고 폴짝 폴짝 혜영쌤 영상 찍으신거 풀어주세요🙏🏻 — 달토💙🖤💚 (@daltto0708) May 21, 2025 While for Son, this victory was huge—having signed with the team in 2015, played over 600 matches (454 for Tottenham), and reached the finale multiple times—this was his first major trophy since his debut with Hamburg in 2010. But online, things are pretty tense, as many have accused the star player of using his power and connections to sway the case in his favour. A post shared by Son HeungMin(손흥민)🇰🇷 (@hm_son7) Also read: 'Park Seo Joon, you are like spring': Actor's donation saves child's life, 'I want to be like him,' says young fan A young woman in her early 20s, known only by her last name, Yang, claimed she used to date Son until last year. During that time, she got pregnant. According to a few reports, Son allegedly pressured her into having an abortion, then paid her 300 million Korean won (around USD 214,000) to keep quiet. But the controversy didn't stop there. Reports say she was even asked to sign a legal agreement that said if she ever talked about it, she'd have to pay 3 billion won (about USD 2.1 million) back to Son. The two eventually broke up. Now, at present, Yang is dating someone mentioned as 'B' in the official complaint. According to the investigation, police uncovered that B got his hands on Yang's phone and found the contract. He then tried to take advantage of the paper and started blackmailing Son. He allegedly threatened to expose the footballer unless he was paid another 70 million won (about USD 50,000). Son refused to follow through, and the story leaked online. On May 18, police arrested both Yang and her boyfriend. Though it's not clear if the woman is involved. According to the police investigation, it's confirmed that she did have an abortion, but they haven't proven she was trying to blackmail Son. So far, only the boyfriend is believed to have made the threats. On the other hand, Son's agency released a statement saying, 'Son & Football Limited has filed a criminal complaint for blackmail against individuals who threatened the player by claiming they would spread false information.' They added further, 'We will take strong legal action against those who engaged in blackmail and intimidation based on clearly false claims.'

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.

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.

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.
