Son Heung-Min in Fortnite — What's the esports collab the South Korea star is involved in?
South Korea and Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-Min will reportedly feature in Fortnite's next celebrity collaboration, receiving a full skin bundle and in-game feature.
According to reports, the collaboration will take place on June 21 during Fortnite's Chapter 6, Season 3.
The Son-Fortnite collaboration will have more offerings than just a single-skin release. The full bundle will include Son's skin featuring the red South Korea national jersey with the '7' number and an armored padding. Apart from it, a pickaxe, back bling, and other cosmetics feature in the set.
Son, after recovering from injury, earlier this year, has been in formidable form. He won the UEFA Europa League title with Tottenham, beating Manchester United in the final, and also led South Korea to a confirmed spot in the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The Fortnite skin is likely to be a purchasable skin that costs V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium in-game currency. Once the bundle arrives, it can be obtained from the in-game item shop.
Son is now part of the emerging trend of sports personalities collaborating in the world of esports.
In April earlier this year, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo featured as a playable character in the popular Japanese fighting game Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves. Ronaldo joined Street Fighter characters Chun-Li and Ken Masters in the game's first season of downloadable content.
