***
There is a saying that if you endure something three times, you will avoid murder.
Surprisingly, this was exactly the third such incident.
First, there was the traitor incident that was the starting point of his retirement, and second, there was Gyul-woo’s pregnancy incident.
And the last one touched on the sensitive issue of the military at the same time.
‘Fuck, this military issue has really crossed the line.’
In my case, it was a particularly sensitive issue because I lost my parents when I was young and was exempted from military service.
All the indifference in her was gone as she carelessly picked at the part that could have been hurt.
I immediately contacted my agent, Mino Raiola.
– Gino, don’t worry too much and just trust me.
Mino Raiola comforted me and at the same time took action.
***
Mino Raiola, who received a call from Jin-ho Son, gradually started to play the media.
Mino Raiola believes the most important thing as an agent is preparation.
His preparedness to always look for places to transfer to, even if the player doesn’t request it, was on display this time as well.
Having recognized the incompetence of the Football Association early on, he prepared the materials necessary for media play in advance in preparation for an incident that might occur someday.
[A remark from a South Korean politician who is said to be of the highest level ever, “Rich orphans not joining the military is actually discrimination against active-duty soldiers from poor families… .”]
However, what he did not expect was for politicians to get involved in the issue.
‘Anyway, politicians are all like moths to a flame.’
Mino Raiola, who lightly clicked his tongue at the politicians, started the media play by applying for refugee status rather than naturalization.
[Jin-ho Son, refugee application instead of naturalization?]
[Mino Raiola, “There is political retaliation against Gino in Korea right now.”]
Because the most important thing in media play was to focus the public’s attention.
‘Public interest is what leads to value.’
And just as Mino Raiola had planned, Son Jin-ho’s unexpected refugee application caught the attention of Europeans.
[Why the Ballon d’Or winner applied for refugee status.]
Even the United States, famous for its lack of interest in soccer, reported this fact to the media.
Honestly, who wouldn’t care if a Ballon d’Or winner applied for refugee status?
[German court rejects Son Jin-ho’s refugee application.]
In any case, in a situation where public opinion was in the spotlight, the German court did not give in to public opinion and did not accept Son Jin-ho’s refugee application.
[Mino Raiola, on the German court’s decision… “We respect the law.”]
Mino Raiola’s refugee application failed, but he didn’t care.
What he was aiming for was to make the European media aware of how unfairly Son Jin-ho was being treated by his country’s football association.
And indeed.
[British media compares Jin-ho Son to Joan of Arc.]
VnJ3dTNyRXdaNE9POGIxQ2ZRWWZwQjNtYUJwU3ltdXl6Nk1YYTQ1RTVKNmtTUUROZDlKK24vOWd1TjdhM1FEMQ
In England, where Jin-ho Son is playing, people started to criticize France and South Korea at the same time, comparing Jin-ho Son to Joan of Arc.
[Is the Italian media going too far in mocking Korea?]
In Italy, where the 2002 World Cup was not forgotten, articles were published with a mocking tone, calling them foolish people who did not understand their own subject and threw away Son Jin-ho, who won the Ballon d’Or.
[German media makes absurd claim that Jin-ho Son is actually German.]
And in the case of Germany, where Son Jin-ho played, the fire was lit automatically without Mino Raiola having to do anything in particular.
Dortmund, which has a strong perception that it is they who raised Son Jin-ho, has been arguing every day that Son Jin-ho should be naturalized and join the German national team.
There was also opposition to Son Jin-ho’s claim that he had no identity as a German.
Some Germans have even gathered Son Jin-ho’s comments and argued that his identity is closer to German than Korean.
The DFB did not want Son Jin-ho’s naturalization because he had won the World Cup, but they welcomed the increase in power that would come with his addition.
[A list of all-time donations by Jin-ho Son, who requested anonymity, has been leaked.]
└ Wow. How much is all that?
└ If you look closely, my brother does a lot of volunteer work.
└ Ha. Even though he’s a fascist in the middle of Europe, he’s a kid with a warm heart.
Having so successfully swayed public opinion, Mino Raiola persuaded Jin-ho Son to carefully release to the press the list of anonymous donations he had made.
***
Man is a forgetful animal.
Unless it’s something related to you, you tend to forget it quickly.
The fact that Son Jin-ho sat in the stands rather than on the field during the World Cup was quickly forgotten by the public.
[Gino, considering naturalization beyond retirement from national team.]
But the incident that occurred in South Korea spread throughout the world in an instant thanks to Mino Raiola’s media play.
People quickly regained their memories and began to show interest in Son Jin-ho’s naturalization.
And among them, the one who most actively wants Son Jin-ho’s naturalization is.
[Soccer God Lionel Messi Acknowledges Son Jin-ho: “If Gino becomes naturalized as an Argentine, it will be a great help in winning the World Cup.”]
[Cristiano Ronaldo, Love Call to Son Jin-ho. “If we join forces, we will be the best in the world…”]
Lionel Messi, who lost to Germany in a penalty shootout in the final of the World Cup in Brazil, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who considers Messi a rival.
[Argentine Football Association firmly rejects Messi’s request. “Naturalization of Son Jin-ho? The majority of the people do not want it. We are the true powerhouse of Argentina.”]
[Argentine legend Diego Maradona, “Son Jin-ho has no Argentine identity…”]
[Portuguese Football Association: “We will positively review Ronaldo’s request.”]
[Jin-ho Son, via interview. “I have no intention of naturalizing yet….”]
[Cristiano Ronaldo lashes out at Son Jin-ho. “Son Jin-ho’s choice is wrong. It’s an act of sacrificing soccer fans all over the world for a handful of 50 million fans.”]
└ What the hell is this kid talking like shit?
└ Oh lol I got a handful of pissed off.
└ Wow, Shin Doo-hyung class geography, he made 50 million in one handful ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Honestly, it’s only a handful compared to the world’s population… .
└ Even among the 50 million Koreans, there aren’t many soccer fans.
└ That’s right.
└ Ah, f*ck. But I still can’t become a Japanese citizen.
└ Why Japan all of a sudden?
└ While saying that the national team should be integrated into the Japanese national team, Son Jin-ho was saying that he should wear the Japanese national team uniform.
└ Are you crazy kids?
└ If you’re going to Japan, it’s better to go to China.
└ China is also shit. I wish they would just naturalize in Europe.
└ What kind of naturalization is this? I have to maintain my Korean citizenship ㅡㅡ
└ Honestly, right now, given the situation, I think it would be right for my brother to naturalize.
└ Naturalization is accepted, and I think I will support him whether he goes to England or Germany, but I don’t think I will support him going to China or Japan.
└ I really wish I had gone to Germany or England, or Spain or Portugal.

└ I wish I could go to Argentina and win the World Cup with Messi, but the association here is also stupid.
└ Are you going to accept a shithead from Germany or England?
└ If it’s my brother, he can be a regular in Germany too?
└ Fact) DFB approached him first for naturalization.
└ Renunciation of citizenship and naturalization is treason!
└ Yeah, the country abandoned Son Jin-ho first.
└ Is naturalization right when not all citizens pointed fingers at you? Then what happens to the citizens who didn’t point fingers at you?
└ Did the kid who did that really badmouth Son Jin-ho in the comments?
└ Not me, you idiot.
└ Well. But at that time, I almost cursed everyone except for the Jinseong Hodongsaeng kids in the Hou Gallery, so I guess I wouldn’t have anything to say even if I naturalized.
└ Don’t the Hou Gallery kids object?
└ Those kids have been cursed at together when they framed Son Jin-ho as a traitor, so he has been blackened for a long time. Rather, there is a celebratory atmosphere because it seems like he will finally choose naturalization.
└ Honestly, the Euro is more fun than the Asian Cup.
└ But why aren’t these association guys revealing their position?
└ Aren’t you waiting until public opinion dies down?
└ Shut your mouth, it’s disgusting, fuck.
***
Even as Son Jin-ho’s refugee application continues to be a subject of controversy worldwide, the football association and politicians who started the controversy have not said anything.
Avoiding contact with the media as much as possible and waiting for public anger to die down.
[The Football Association and the political world are silent on the Son Jin-ho incident. How far do they plan to fool the people?]
And as time passed.
As they thought, the angry public opinion gradually began to die down.
Although first-term lawmakers seeking recognition have mentioned it in interviews with the press.
“You’re just leaving because you don’t need my nomination, right? Huh? Right?”
Soon after, he fell silent at the call of the party’s senior members.
Because the nomination that could be called a rice bowl was more important than a sense of justice.
Among them, there were some exceptional people who truly loved soccer and had a burning sense of justice, but in a democratic society, minority opinions were thoroughly excluded.
The argument that minority opinions should be respected, as learned in ethics class, was no different from the ideal.
As the members of the National Assembly, who could be called the representatives of the people, failed to represent the people’s opinions and remained silent, public opinion quickly cooled down.
At that moment, politicians and association executives were about to breathe a sigh of relief.
Sepp Blatter, who has a keen sense of money, made his position public, and public opinion began to burn again.
[FIFA President Sepp Blatter, “Son Jin-ho should be considered a refugee, not a naturalized person. Son Jin-ho’s naturalization application was made due to political issues. As a separate case from FIFA’s naturalization regulations, Son Jin-ho should be able to play in A matches without having to complete the five-year period.”]
Sepp Blatter, who hopes China will advance to the World Cup finals, thought that Jin-ho Son would be more likely to naturalize in China, which is part of the same Asian cultural sphere, rather than in Europe.
This situation arose because they only viewed Asia in terms of money and did not recognize Asian culture or relationships.
But things turned out just as Sepp Blatter had hoped.
The Chinese president, who declared a soccer boom, ordered all efforts to naturalize Son Jin-ho.
[Chinese city mayor. Declaring a soccer revolution. “Capture Son Jin-ho’s heart.”]
China, which is trying to attract Son Jin-ho by offering astronomical conditions, and Japan, which just wants to screw Korea, got involved.
[On the joining of Japanese director Son Jin-ho. “If naturalization actually takes place, Japan will gain Captain TsuX Corporation.”]
Even Mino Raiola, Son Jin-ho’s agent, felt that China money and Japan money were quite tempting.
– Hou: But China and Japan are a bit… .
He always put the players’ wishes first, and with a heavy heart, he rejected offers from China and Japan.
Anyway, I wonder if the idea of being able to call up a Ballon d’Or winner to the national team right away without the five-year waiting period is making people drool.
The whole world began to weigh in on Son Jin-ho’s naturalization.
***
[Park Ji-song, the symbol of Korean soccer, criticizes his determination, saying, “Korean soccer has lost its self-correcting power.”]
└ Wow. Has this guy’s wording ever been this strong?
└ I think this is the first time the media has said something like this.
└ Wow, this is truly an unprecedented event.
└ Of course, it’s unprecedented. The first Asian player to win the Ballon d’Or has become a naturalized citizen.
[Park Ji-song, “I feel sorry for the seniors who couldn’t protect Jin-ho when he was having a hard time. We need to speak up now.”]
[Choi Ki-hyun, former head of the Strategy Committee, objected to the remarks of the National Assembly member. “It is not the problem of the association chairman, but the problem of the association itself. The association has lost its fair function.”]
[Choi Ki-hyun, former head of the Strategy Committee: “The Football Association, which has forgotten even the most basic task of protecting its players, must disappear.”]
[Did the congressman who advocated for the conscription of orphans actually serve in the military?]
└ As expected, it’s exemption^^ It doesn’t disappoint!
└ For someone called Muyeon, he’s so normal?
└ It must be military service evasion. Why are you asking?
[Independent lawmaker explains recent controversy… “I was in an accident and have a serious leg disability.”]
└ Wow lol. That person is doing a 360-degree spin kick at a bar.
└ This is impossible to cover up, this kid is a military service evader
[Independent lawmaker provides additional explanation on the controversy. “I recovered miraculously through rehabilitation treatment.”]
└ If you’ve recovered, go join the army, you idiot. Stop fighting in bars.
***
[Will Son Jin-ho, the symbol of Korean soccer, really become a naturalized citizen? The English, German, and Portuguese football associations talk to Mino Raiola.]
As public opinion heated up over Son Jin-ho’s naturalization, the Korea Football Association was put on emergency alert.
“Son Jin-ho, why is that lump of flesh the symbol of Korean soccer!”
“What’s wrong with the Ballon d’Or? If I had been born in a good era, I could have easily won it!”
“And why is that kid suddenly pushing for naturalization? Doesn’t he mean to try this on us?”
In fact, even those who said that knew that Son Jin-ho’s achievements were nonsense.
A situation that arose simply because I desperately tried to close my eyes and ignore reality.
But now it was time to wake up from the dream and face the cold reality.
‘It went smoothly when our seniors did it, so why are you making a fuss when it’s our turn!’
‘Ah. It’s so unfair. Why did it have to happen during our time…?’
It was time for the bad adults who had preyed on the dreams of the youth to pay the price.
‘But I guess I can be recycled, right? If I take the internal documents of the association, will Director Choi Ki-hyun accept it?’
At the same time that Choi Ki-hyun declared that a new football association should be created, people who wanted to change ships appeared.
[Football Association, unprecedented corruption uncovered.]
[A football association full of filthy water, can it still not be punished? What is the FIFA clause that prohibits external intervention by the government and third parties in the association?]
[FIFA to ban Korean soccer from international matches if third party intervenes.]
In the process of trying to escape from the sinking ship, internal documents within the Football Association naturally began to leak out.
[US Justice Department requests extradition of Football Federation officials: ‘Key witnesses to crime’]
And some of the documents from the football association caught the eye of the U.S. Justice Department, which was secretly investigating corruption at FIFA.
[IRS Commissioner Richard Weber, “Today we’re issuing FIFA a red card.”]
