▲ Son`s gesture after the goal

In January 5:00 AM, the soccer player in Tottenham Hotspur named Son Heung-min had a dramatic

goal while losing 0:1 to West Ham. He showed the ceremony gesture shaped as 'shush!'.

He put his finger in his mouth and faced toward the audience. Many people were interested in this meaning.

In November 16, 2017. he had received a racial discrimination comment from a fan of West Ham.

While Son was writing his signature on his car, the man said, “Can you give me a copy of the movie,

Planet of the Apes?” Son was confused, the man told him that he sells DVDs (Son recognized the meaning and tried to close the window.)

Then, the man said, “Yes, I’m West Ham you Wanker” But Son did not say anything and tried to smile.

This is a move based on malicious stereotypes that Asian immigrants sell illegally copied DVDs

In addition, it was not the first time.

Once, after the eighth goal of Son in Tottenham, some people wrote in Social Media, “He would get more goals

when he opens his eyes more.” This is used to blame the shape of the eyes of Asians.

This case was rapidly spread in SNS. After the video of West Ham's fan and the writings in SNS,

not only Asians but also many foreigners blamed him. After the goal, people were curious of the gesture.

Now, the meaning of the gesture is known as the signal to some racist fans of the West Ham.

At that time, the Tottenham club said, "Racism is totally unacceptable. We hope that the perpetrators

identity will be known, and an appropriate countermeasure will be used."
