The soccer boots Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) wore in the final match between Iran and Qatar 2022 World Cup last March were sold at an auction for a whopping 16 million won.



From 2 pm on the 6th, in the plaza on the north side of the Seoul World Cup Stadium, an event was held on the last day of the national team collection auction held every day from the 1st to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.



The soccer boots exhibited on this day were actually worn by Heung-Min Son during the Iranian match, and were made for personal use and were even engraved with Son's initials.

While the asking price of the collections that had been auctioned up until the previous day went up by 100,000 won to 500,000 won, the participants raised the asking price by 1 million won each time.



In less than two minutes from the start of the auction, the price of soccer boots, which started at 220,000 won, exceeded 10 million won.



Even though middle-aged Mo Yu called for 13 million won, Lee Mo, in his 20s, wearing a 'Red Devil' short-sleeved T-shirt, shouted 16 million won without hesitation.



In the midst of cheers and applause from the left, Mr. Yoo shook his head sharply, and the auction ended as the host shouted 16 million won three times.



With a smile on his face, Mr. Lee, holding soccer boots in both hands, even showed off Son Heung-min's proprietary 'Click Ceremony'.

He, who is a college student, said, "I saw the winning bid for Hwang Hee-chan's soccer boots before and I thought it was worth trying, so I participated.



He continued, "I told my father, 'I can leave it as a heirloom,' and he readily allowed it." "My family is moving this time, so I'm doing the interior. better," he said.



He said, "It's worth it. I'm so happy." "I spent a lot of money this time, but it would be really nice if I had the opportunity to meet (Son) Heung-min hyung once."



Lee, who became the owner of the soccer boots, also received four tickets for the evaluation match against Egypt to be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 14th.



The national team uniforms signed by Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae (Fenerbahce) the day before were sold for 6.5 million won and 2.1 million won, respectively.
