This special emoji contained a caricature of the face of Heung-Min Son, the flagship striker of football for the Republic of Korea. The emoji is automatically applied to Tweets using the hashtags #손흥민, #Sonny, #HeungMinSon, #NiceOneSonny, and #토트넘.

During the Q&A, Korean football fans asked questions like, “What are your favorite sports other than football?”, “What are your favorite animals?”, “Are there any K-pop Idols that you like other than BTS?” Heung-Min Son’s fans were able to freely ask him questions through Twitter.

In particular, Heung-Min Son replied to the question, “If you could have one super power, what would you choose?” He replied, “I would choose the ability to have physical strength so I would never get tired.” This revealed his extraordinary love for football.
