Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who was at the center of the "table tennis gate," returned to Korea with a bright expression as usual.
Lee Kang-in, who entered Korea through Incheon International Airport this afternoon (19th), responded with a bright smile to the cheering fans shouting his name.
Lee Kang-in, who entered the arrival hall wearing a light green hoodie and a green cap cap, left the airport with gifts from fans.
Lee Kang-in was criticized by soccer fans as he was pointed out as the core of the "table tennis gate" that protested against his senior and captain Son Heung-min ahead of the semifinal match of the 2023 Asian Cup in Qatar, which ended last month.
Lee Kang-in bowed his head by posting an apology on his social media (SNS) twice earlier.
Lee Kang-in, who posted his first apology on the 14th of last month, visited London, England a week later, apologized directly to Son Heung-min, and then took time to look back on himself. "My short thoughts and rash actions at the last Asian Cup tournament have disappointed Heung-min and the entire team and soccer fans greatly."
The national team, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, will face Thailand at 8 p.m. on the 21st at Seoul World Cup Stadium for the third Group C qualifying round for the 2026 North and Central America World Cup.
On the 26th, they will play their fourth game at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Lee Kang-in immediately moved to the national team's lodging in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, as soon as he entered the country, and he will express his feelings at the Seoul World Cup Stadium before the official training tomorrow.
