Tottenham have done nothing since the incident.

This is why fans shouted so loudly. Tottenham continuously posted content on its website and SNS account. The performance of its players at Euro 2024 and major schedules of the 2024-2025 Premier League were disclosed. However, these posts have turned into online battlegrounds for fans.

Paul O’Keefe, an agent known to be well-versed in Tottenham’s internal news, pointed out, “Even if the club intervenes, we will not necessarily inform it outside.”

Meanwhile, Professor Seo Kyung-deok of Sungshin Women’s University defined it as obvious racism, saying, “This is a statement that Asian faces, including Son Heung-min, all look similar, and the media mainly used to disparage Asians in Europe and South America.”

E-mail calls for tough punishment for Bentancur

Model Hye-bak acted ahead of Professor Seo.

He directly commented on Bentancourt’s SNS. Hye-bak politely protested, saying, “After watching your interview on racism, I got a negative image of you. Such generalization is harmful and rude. Even dismissing it as just a joke was inappropriate. If you want to sincerely apologize, apologize politely and sincerely. I hope you will learn from this incident and don’t make the same mistake again.”
