Police arrested a woman in her 20s and a man in his 40s, and are investigating allegations that they tried to extort Son with the false claim of pregnancy, local media reported on Thursday, citing police sources.
Son, who is 32 years old, is a very popular figure in South Korea, not only for his success in the English Premier League, but also for his dedication to the national team as captain.
