LAFC's acquisition of Son Heung-min, the captain of South Korea's national team, significantly enhances LAFC and boosts Korean soccer's visibility in the U.S. The Southern California Korean community, the largest in the U.S., is particularly excited about this signing. The transfer fee is reported to be around $26 million, surpassing the previous MLS record. General manager John Thorrington's successful signing history includes notable players, indicating a trend of attracting top talent to the league.
The Korean community has been buzzing ever since rumors of Son Heung-min's potential move to LAFC began to spread. The fact that a player of his caliber is coming to L.A. is monumental event.
Son's move to the LAFC is as exciting - if not moreso - than when Chan Ho Park and Hyun-Jin Ryu joined the Dodgers.
