During his guest appearance on Dalsu Live on March 14, Bong Joon Ho promised, “If Son Heung Min’s team Tottenham advances to the Europa League final, I’ll come back and do live commentary.”

Well-known as a passionate football fan, Bong shared his deep admiration for Son Heung Min during a broadcast with commentator Park Moon Sung and columnist Kim Hyun Min, where he pledged.

Once Tottenham officially secured their spot in the final, fans flooded the Dalsu Live channel with comments, eagerly hoping for Bong’s live commentary. True to his word, Bong Joon Ho has stepped up to deliver on his promise.

Notably, comedian Kim Shin Young will join him for the event.

Kim is also known for being an avid football fan and recently showcased her extensive football knowledge during a guest appearance on Dalsu Live.

Interestingly, her participation came at the direct request of Bong Joon Ho, who openly declared himself “a huge fan of Kim Shin Young.”

With both individuals bringing their passion and insight to the table, the upcoming live commentary for the Tottenham vs. Manchester United Europa League final generates high expectations among football fans.

It promises to be a unique opportunity to watch an important match featuring Son Heung Min with engaging commentary from Bong Joon Ho and Kim Shin Young.

Meanwhile, this Europa League final holds significant meaning for Son Heung Min as well.

Tottenham has reached a European final for the first time since the 2019 Champions League, and for Son, it presents a major opportunity to claim his first European trophy.

If Tottenham defeats Manchester United, Son could become the first Korean player to win the Europa League since Park Ji Sung, drawing immense attention to the match’s outcome.
