Son Heung-min was always set to be the main attraction during Tottenham’s pre-season tour of his native South Korea. Seizing the moment, the Spurs forward took a memorable photo with the K-Pop girl group NewJeans. In the snapshot, the group is seen holding Tottenham shirts with their names emblazoned on them.

In their pre-season tour, Tottenham suffered a 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in Seoul. Earlier in the tour, Spurs had defeated a K-League XI 4-3, with Son scoring twice.

South Korean defender Kim Min-jae also joined NewJeans for a photoshoot, where they posed with Bayern Munich shirts.

As the Asian tour concludes, Spurs are set to face Bayern Munich again in a week, this time at their home ground in north London. Ange Postecoglou’s squad will kick off their Premier League campaign against newly-promoted Leicester City on August 19th, with Son expected to play a key role.
