Son Heung-min of the Tottenham Hotspur FC was listed as one of the top five recruits in his unit as he completed three weeks of mandatory military training stipulated for adults by South Korea, on Friday.

The marine corps of South Korea published pictures of Son handling an M-16 assault rifle and saluting on their Facebook page as he completed his short military course at a boot camp.

All physically fit South Korean adult men are obliged to serve in the military for nearly two years, which makes up the bulk of Seoul’s 600,000-strong forces — who stand against North Korea’s army of 1.3 million.

However, Son was in the South Korean team that was exempted from the army by winning gold at the 2018 Asian Games that took place in Indonesia.

The Spurs striker was full of  tears of joy after their team beat Japan – 2-1, in the extra-time of the final match. This however, meant he could fulfil his obligations with just three weeks’ basic training and around 500 hours of community service.

In April he reported to the marines camp he was assigned to on the island of Jeju for the basic training, which consisted of lengthy hikes, rifle practice as well as tear-gas training.

Fans of the footballer showered likes on the pictures of Son published on Facebook to congratulate him

“He indeed is world-class. I’m a die-hard Son Heung-min fan,” wrote one South Korean marine veteran.
