Explained: The bizarre reason Tottenham & South Korea talisman Son Heung-min can't take selfies with certain fans

<p>The South Korea international, who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/explained-why-tottenham-south-korea-star-son-heung-min-year-younger/blt4fa89a3a7bac40a1" target="_blank">now club captain at Spurs</a>, is one of the most affable and likeable characters in professional sport. He is always happy to pose for pictures with his adoring fanbase, but is not always able to take a leading role in that process.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A video has gone viral of Son apologising to a supporter for being unable to hold their iPhone as a selfie is taken. That is because he has a sponsorship deal with Samsung that prevents him from touching or using rival products. He became an ambassador for the Korean electronics company in the summer of 2023.</p><center><blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@stevie_king/video/7277205497139186976" data-video-id="7277205497139186976" data-embed-from="oembed" style="max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@stevie_king" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@stevie_king?refer=embed">@stevie_king</a> <p>Son cant hold fans iphone to take a selfie due to his contract with samsung. <a title="son" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/son?refer=embed">#son</a> <a title="sonny" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/sonny?refer=embed">#sonny</a> <a title="heuingminson" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/heuingminson?refer=embed">#heuingminson</a> <a title="sonheungmin" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/sonheungmin?refer=embed">#sonheungmin</a> <a title="spurs" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/spurs?refer=embed">#spurs</a> <a title="tottenhamfc" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/tottenhamfc?refer=embed">#tottenhamfc</a> <a title="tottenhamhotspur" target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/tottenhamhotspur?refer=embed">#tottenhamhotspur</a> </p> <a target="_blank" title="♬ original sound - stevieking" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/original-sound-7277205512298171168?refer=embed">♬ original sound - stevieking</a> </section> </blockquote> <script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script></center>
