The Spurs international will be required to enrol in the military unless he is able to win the Asian Games with South Korea
Tottenham star Son Heung-min had an impressive World Cup tournament in Russia with South Korea, but he will potentially miss the start of the Premier League season due to international duty once again.
This year's Asian Games is set to begin imminently in Jakarta, Indonesia, a multi-sport event contested by 20 nations.
South Korea are set to participate in this year's football portion of the tournament, and though the competition is geared towards Under-23 players, each team is allowed to have at most three players who are over that age limit.
