superstar visits SoFi Stadium

on March 3 (KST), Son Heung-min visited the LA Rams’ home stadium, SoFi Stadium, to watch a game against the San Francisco 49ers. He announced his visit on social media, writing, “Thank you for the invitation” and sharing a photo from the game.

during the game, Son had a special moment with Rams star wide receiver Fuka Nakua, exchanging jerseys and performing his signature “snap” move while wearing a Rams jersey with the number 7 and “SON” on the back, much to the delight of the local fans. The moment was also featured on the NFL’s official account, proving his popularity.

A special connection with the LA Rams

This isn’t the first time the LA Rams and Son Heung-min have connected. When Son’s move to LAFC was confirmed in August, the LA Rams were one of the first LA clubs to send a welcome message via social media. It was a symbolic gesture of solidarity between the two clubs and the star.

next stop, a basketball court?

after visiting a Major League Baseball stadium, Son is truly embracing LA sports culture by visiting an American football field. fans are now keeping a close eye on his next “LA life,” hoping that his next stop will naturally be an NBA basketball team with LA ties, either the LA Lakers or LA Clippers.
