[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] As Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham Hotspur) entered the Marine Corps training center for basic military training, his training appearance was revealed, and overseas fans said, "Son Heung-min should have been given trainee number 7."

The Tottenham fan site 'The Spurs Web' posted a photo on the 6th (Korean time) with the title "Son Heung-min returns after completing shooting training."

In the photo, Son Heung-min is seen wearing a military uniform with the trainee number '139' printed on it, moving with his fellow trainees at the training center.

However, Son Heung-min's bulletproof helmet bore the number '136' instead of his trainee number '139'.

Fans who saw this reacted by saying, "Son Heung-min should have been given number 7. This is a breach of etiquette."

Number 7 is Son Heung-min's symbolic jersey number, and fans believe that the number 7 should continue to be used even at the training center.

Other fans responded, "Son Heung-min will boast exceptional shooting accuracy," and "He will be able to hit every target he aims for."
