A report says an LAFC supporter shouted an allegedly racist remark toward South Korean footballer Son Heung-min after an MLS game. Korea Times and Yonhap both cite a video circulating on social media that shows a person in LAFC clothing repeatedly saying “ni hao” toward Son following the match between LAFC and the LA Galaxy.
Coverage frames the incident as drawing accusations of racism or “insensitive” behavior online, with some social media users calling for consequences for the individual. Korea Times adds that it was not immediately clear whether LAFC or MLS had responded, and it notes that Son has previously spoken about facing racism while playing overseas.
Across outlets, the core points are consistent: the remark is described as “ni hao,” it is directed at Son after the Sunday match, and it triggers backlash on social media. The New York Post emphasizes the fan being “caught” and ties the story to broader negative behavior in the rivalry context, but the shared reporting centers on the video and the online accusations.
