Korean Stars Son Heung‑min and Lee Jung‑hoo Shine in US Leagues

Son Heung‑min netted a first‑half goal just five minutes into LAFC's home match against Sporting Kansas City on June 26, giving the Korean forward his third consecutive MLS goal. The win lifted LAFC to a 4‑0 victory, extending their league winning streak to four games and moving them to second place in the Western Conference.

Lee Jung‑hoo, playing for the San Francisco Giants, hit a three‑run home run and added a double in a 9‑2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on the same day. The performance took him past the 100‑career‑RBI mark, making him the sixth Korean player to reach that milestone in MLB, and earned him the Player‑of‑the‑Game honor.
