Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham Hotspur and the Korean national team, spoke out about the Asian Cup dispute with Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. He asked the supporters to accept the younger player's apology and extend forgiveness.

Son Heung-min wrote, "Hello, this is Son Heung-min," in an Instagram post. Today, I'm going to discuss a topic that can be a bit weighty and challenging. After giving serious thought to his actions, Kang-in expressed regret to all members of the national team, myself included.

"When I was younger, I too made a lot of errors and behaved badly. The tough counsel and direction of excellent older players have helped me get to where I am now.

"We will all support Lee as a member of the national team and as captain, to ensure that he doesn't do anything wrong like this again and develops into a better player and person. "Furthermore, I believe that my acts were wrong, and I should be held accountable for that. "But I will also take actions for the team even if it means I get into that [sort of] situation because I think that doing something undesirable is one of a captain's duties. But I will work to lead the team more wisely going forward."Since the tragedy, Kang-in has been going through a really difficult period.

Please, with all of your generosity, pardon him once. As captain of the national team, I ask you. An adorable picture of Son and Lee grinning together accompanied the article. The fact that Son's finger is bandaged in the picture suggests that Lee visited the Spurs captain in London following the Asian Cup. At the Asian Cup, Lee fought with his son when he and other younger players left dinner to play table tennis.

When Son requested them to get back to the team supper, there were reports that things got violent. Although Son and Lee have admitted that there was a disagreement, no one who witnessed the physical confrontation has come forward to corroborate the specifics. Following the first disclosure of the event last week, Lee has been subjected to a torrent of negative feedback from his fan base, several derogatory posts, and even demands to boycott companies that he endorses.

As you may remember, during the last week, reports of an incident between Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in during the Asian Cup have dominated headlines in Korea, even surpassing the resignation of controversial former national team manager Jurgen Klinsmann.

Many sources state that Son and Lee got into a fight because the captain was upset that some of the younger players decided to skip supper and play table tennis.

Depending on which tales you read, older players like Son thought this conduct was disrespectful, against tradition, or bad for morale. As a result, Son challenged the younger players. There was some altercation, during which Lee struck Son, dislocating his finger.
