롤로: 쏘니?

👤: 응, 아니면 세계 챔피언의...

롤로: 아니면 쏘니 사촌이거나, 어쨌든 그들은 다 똑같이 생겼으니까. (웃음)

👤: 맞아. (웃음)

OP: "When the player was out for the season, Son Heung-min took good care of him." 

to think that when bentancur was going through a hard time with his injury, who was the one by his side supporting him? son. and now to see him make a senseless racist remark against his friend is so heartbreaking. pic.twitter.com/cUvu6GCVQz

-"Wow... he really said that so openly...? It's shocking."

-"When Rodrigo returned from injury, Son Heung-min sincerely rejoiced, congratulated him, and everything... ㅋㅋ... "

-"Really ㅋㅋ this is so uncivilized."

-"Can't he be disciplined? What is this... ah, I'm so annoyed, you ignorant bastard."

-"...It's really shocking that not just another player, but a teammate, does something like that so casually."

-"Wow, I'm disappointed ㅡㅡ"

-"What's the local reaction like? Do they acknowledge this as an issue??"

--"It's a big deal; he's caught in the midst of racism accusations. They're telling him to apologize...And he just posted an apology on Instagram."

-"It's disgusting. That racist is a teammate that Son Heung-min has to see every day. The Premier League must impose disciplinary action."

-"Apologies are one thing, but honestly, I don't have high expectations for the club. It would be good if the Premier League handed down at least a one-match suspension. There's precedent for it, d*mn it."

-"Seeing the apology made me even more angry. Bad joke? 'Sorry, it was just a bad joke when I said that all Asians look the same!' "

-"Casually saying something racist while holding a child."

-"I supported and liked him, but thank you so much for making me fall out of love with him... Ugh."
