Dodgers’ Korean stars extend a warm greeting as Son Heung-min joins Los Angeles FC
Local sports scene abuzz as Son Heung-min’s transfer from Tottenham Hotspur is officially announced
Kim Hye-sung and Tommy Hyun-soo Edman of the Los Angeles Dodgers have warmly welcomed Son Heung-min, who recently signed with Los Angeles FC, with a special video message.
On August 8, the Los Angeles Dodgers released a video on their official social media channels congratulating Son Heung-min on his arrival in LA, stating, “Welcome to Los Angeles, Son Heung-min.” The video features infielder Kim Hye-sung and Korean-American multi-position player Tommy Hyun-soo Edman each sending personal congratulatory messages.
In the footage, Kim Hye-sung bows in greeting, introducing himself as a member of the Dodgers. He expressed his sincere congratulations to Son Heung-min for joining LAFC, sharing that as a soccer fan, he has long admired Son, and feels honored to now share the same city. Kim added, “I will wholeheartedly support your soccer journey here in Los Angeles.”
Kim Hye-sung and Son Heung-min also share a professional connection. Earlier this year, as Kim prepared for his move to the US, he signed with CAA Sports, the same global agency that represents Son. Notably, CAA Sports also manages Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Tommy Hyun-soo Edman also welcomed Son’s arrival, expressing his delight at Son Heung-min joining the local sports family and predicting that fans will be thrilled to see him play. Edman voiced his hope to see Son at a Dodgers game in person and shared his interest in attending an LAFC match as well. Closing the message with a cheerful “Fighting!” in Korean, Edman added a personal and heartfelt touch.
Son Heung-min was officially signed by LAFC on August 7, after spending a decade with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. The news of his transfer has created a stir within the Los Angeles community, underscored by the significant attention at his induction press conference held at BMO Stadium. Notable figures including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass attended the event, further highlighting the local excitement.
