[instiz] SON HEUNGMIN'S IG UPDATE

I don’t even know where to begin.

I can’t pretend nothing happened, and I don’t want to avoid reality.

First of all, I sincerely want to apologize to the people of Korea and to all the fans who love football.

As someone who also loves football, if I had watched a match like this, I would have felt devastated, frustrated, and heartbroken. That’s why I feel that simply saying “I’m sorry” isn’t enough to express the disappointment and pain you must be feeling. Even saying those words feels far too inadequate.

Every day, every moment, I’ve been experiencing countless emotions, and I’ve gone through one of the hardest periods of my life. But there was one thing I knew I had to say to all of you.

This tournament meant more to me than anyone could know. It felt as though the stage I had always called “a young boy’s dream” had collapsed, and I can’t put into words how devastated and heartbroken I am. To be honest, even now it’s difficult to accept this reality.

Thinking about the fans who must be carrying far greater disappointment and pain than I am, I hesitate to even speak about my own feelings. But I believe your hearts aren’t much different from mine.

I know well that so much was sacrificed for this stage. I also feel a deep sense of responsibility for not being able to repay the time, support, unwavering encouragement, and love that you’ve given us. I am truly, deeply sorry.

And to everyone who believed in us, supported us until the very end, and stood by our side, I sincerely thank you.

Rather than trying to express everything with words right now, I will do my best from my place to earn back the trust of the people of Korea and football fans through my actions.

I will work tirelessly so I can bring you joy again. I have never forgotten the promise I made to the fans.

Until the day you come looking for me again, until the day you need me again, I will give everything I have.
