Father of Tottenham Star Fined for Child Welfare Violation at Soccer Academy

Son Woong-jung, father of Son Heung-min, faces penalties for abuse allegations at his South Korean football school.

Son Woong-jung, the father of Tottenham's Son Heung-min, has been fined 3 million won by a South Korean court.
The fine stems from violations of child welfare laws at the Son Football Academy in Chuncheon.
Allegations include physical and verbal abuse towards young players by Son Woong-jung and two other coaches.
Son Woong-jung has denied any wrongdoing but issued an apology and committed to reassessing his coaching methods.
The academy, funded largely by Son Heung-min, has been operational since 2021.
