Son, who is staying in Korea during his short break between English Premier League seasons, spent time with some 100 pediatric patients and their families.

He mingled with them, drawing stars on paper on which the children's wishes were written, and playing football together.

He also took photos with them, flashing his signature goal celebration, in which he poses like a photographer taking a picture.
