Both the love of Korean fans and the fan service of Son Heung-min were hot until the last day.
Tottenham Hotspur, who played two friendly matches in Korea, departed for England through Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 on a chartered flight around 2 pm today (17th).
About three hours before departure, hundreds of people flocked to the gate from the terminal's entrance, through the check-in counter for charter flights, to the door leading to the departure hall.
They were fans who came to get autographs from Son Heung-min and Tottenham players.
About 500 people gathered at the airport.
When the squad arrived, fans shouted their names and asked for autographs.

Lucas Mora and Hisharlisson signed autographs for a few people, but the rest waved their hands and headed to the departure hall, but Heung-Min Son did not ignore the requests of his hometown fans.
When Son Heung-min finished the procedure, he came to the fans and smiled and signed autographs for each one of them.
Children holding the paper with Son Heung-min's name on it ran all over the place.
A female fan, who appears to be in her twenties, sprinted towards Son Heung-min's autograph, when she stumbled somewhere and made people laugh.
After completing the 'mission' he had received from his son to get an autograph, his father spread his shoulders in triumph.
The 'immediate fan autograph session' lasted about 30 minutes, and Son Heung-min hurriedly left the plane with about 30 minutes left before takeoff.
