Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min is a prominent South Korean football star, formerly a player for Tottenham Hotspur. He is currently newsworthy due to a recent blackmail case in which he was the victim. A woman, identified as Yang, and an accomplice were found guilty in a Seoul court of extorting 300 million won (£153,000) from Son in 2024. Yang claimed to be pregnant with his child, sending him an ultrasound photo as part of the extortion attempt. The court sentenced Yang to four years in prison, while her accomplice received a two-year sentence. This case highlights the potential vulnerabilities of high-profile individuals to extortion and the legal consequences for those who engage in such activities.
