South Korean football player Son Jun-ho, a member of Shandong Taishan in the Chinese Super League, has returned home after being detained in China for around 10 months. Son, a veteran of the national team, was held in Liaoning province since May on alleged bribery charges.
The Korea Football Association confirmed Son's release, and he arrived in South Korea through Incheon International Airport, the country's main gateway located west of Seoul.
The South Korean foreign ministry stated that they had requested cooperation through various channels with Chinese authorities to ensure a swift and fair process for Son.
Earlier reports from Chinese media suggested that Son's case might be connected to an investigation into match-fixing allegations involving the coach and other players on Son's team.
