On May 20, Beijing time, well-known media personality Ran Xiongfei once again talked about the future outcome of Taishan foreign aid Sun Junhao, who is currently under investigation. Ran Xiongfei bluntly said that the 31-year-old Sun Junhao was basically sure that his career was over.
Previously, Sun Junhao had been detained on suspicion of bribery of non-state officials. And Ran Xiongfei revealed that his conviction for collecting black money is already a sure thing. And because Son does not have diplomatic immunity and is not harmful to national security, he may remain in China to serve his normal sentence, and only after serving his sentence can he leave normally and return to South Korea.
Whether he serves one year or several years in prison, he will definitely not be able to continue to play in the Chinese league. Even if it is the simplest detention, because of this matter, Shandong Taishan will definitely punish him by dismissal and end his contract for more than 2 years ahead of schedule. Other Chinese clubs are unlikely to offer him contracts under great pressure.
After Son Joon-ho serves his sentence, it is also a question whether the Korean football community can accept him, because he plays match-fixing abroad, and the Korean Football Association may also punish him. If he is banned by the Korean Football Association again, the 31-year-old Son Joon-ho's career is basically over.
Born in 1992, Son Joon-ho is a professional midfielder who played for Jeonbuk Hyundai, the dominant team of the Korean league, and won three consecutive league titles with the team. In January 2021, Son Joon-ho joined Taishan for a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros. He is one of the main members of the team to regain the Chinese Super League championship. Son Joon-ho is also a current international in the South Korean men's football team, who participated in the World Cup in Qatar at the end of last year and has a record of appearances.
