A Spanish media outlet predicted Son Heung-min (34, LAFC) that the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup is likely to be the last World Cup in fact. At the same time, he noted Korea's young talents, saying, "Korea is not afraid of the future after Son Heung-min." In particular, Kim Min-soo (20, FC Andora) directly introduced him as "Son Heung-min's successor."
Spanish media outlet Fondosegunda said on the 30th (Korea Standard Time), "Korea, a regular customer of the World Cup, will also play in the 2026 North-China World Cup," adding, "Korea, which has reigned as an Asian strong team, reached the semifinals at the 2002 World Cup between Korea and Japan, informing the world that it is a country that can compete with anyone without falling behind Europe's reputation or South American history." "We also beat Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portugal at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and also beat Germany at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, giving us the most disastrous tournament in German football history."
The media then said, "Korea is preparing for the end with Son Heung-min, who has been the most iconic icon of the past decade, through North American World Cup. Son Heung-min, who is 34 years old, said, "This is likely to be the last World Cup," but added, "However, South Korea is not afraid of the future after Son Heung-min." This is because there are new generations of talents playing on the top stage in Europe. The main characters are Lee Kang-in (25) of Paris Saint-Germain, Jens Castrov (23) of Mönchengladbach, and Kim Min-soo, who is drawing attention with tremendous potential.
In particular, the media, which directly referred to Kim Min-soo as "Son Heung-min's successor," said, "FC Ando is stably located in the middle of Spain's second division, and there is no need to worry about the threat of relegation. At the center of it is Kim Min-soo, who is making a huge impact in his first full season on the professional stage, he said. "Kim Min-soo, who left Korea for Spain at the age of just 10, is currently the team's most scored player with five goals and three assists in the league."
"Kim Min-soo is the epitome of a soccer player who has the ability to fascinate viewers, such as fantastic dribbling in medium-range shooting and scoring using explosive acceleration," he said. "We have to see if he will settle down in his memory after a while, but a name with such outstanding talent will not be easily forgotten."
Like Lee Kang-in, Kim Min-soo, who went to study in Spanish soccer as a child, was loaned from his original team, Girona, and is playing for FC Andora this season. He has scored five goals and three assists in 23 matches (19 starts). Like Son Heung-min, he mainly plays as a left-side striker, but he can also play the front line and right side. When he was an original team, Girona, he even participated in the UEFA Champions League stage and attracted attention.
