I'm stuck at work for another 3 hours so I decided to translate another interview. This time it’s Sonny's dad, Mr. Son Woong-Jung, comically known as Dad Heung-Min. The original interview dates back to June 22nd but it's better late than never I guess! Some parts of the interview were omitted due to irrelevance.
As a former professional footballer in South Korea, Woong-jung blames his own lackluster career on thinking too much about winning and not enough about fundamentals. That problem, he says, is shared by many South Korean players. He retired in 1990 after becoming injured, and he didn’t want his sons to make the same mistakes.
