VARIOUS OF SON, HIS FATHER AND STAFF WALKING TOWARD DEPARTURES GATE STORY: South Korean soccer player and Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min completed a three-week basic military training course in Jeju on Friday (May 8).

All able-bodied South Korean men must serve around two years in the military but athletes who win gold at the Asian Games or a medal of any colour at the Olympics receive exemptions.

After completing the training course, Son, who led his country to gold in the 2018 Asian Games football tournament, will still have to undertake 544 hours of community service over the next 34 months.

During his training, Son received the "Pilsung" prize, an award given to the top performer among his group of 157 trainees, according to the Republic of Korea Marine Corps.

Son, who was quarantined for two weeks after arriving in Seoul from London at the end of March, completed the training while the Premier League season is suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
