Son Heung-min's Soccer Academy Faces Abuse Allegations

South Korean prosecutors investigate claims of verbal and physical abuse by coaches at the Chuncheon-based academy.

Son Woong-jung, academy director and Son Heung-min's father, denies the allegations but promises to reevaluate coaching methods.
The abuse claims include a young player being hit with a corner flag and verbally abused by a coach.
The academy, funded by Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min, opened in 2021 with a $15 million investment.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about abusive coaching practices in South Korean sports.
Son Football Academy is cooperating fully with authorities during the investigation.
