South Korean football star Heung Min Son has dribbled his way into Fortnite, not with goals this time, but with a brand-new skin in Epic Games ’ iconic battle royale. The Tottenham Hotspur forward is now part of Fortnite’s Icon Series, joining the likes of Neymar Jr. and LeBron James, in a crossover that combines athletic flair with digital style.
Heung Min Son arrives in the item shopAvailable via the in-game Item Shop, the Heung Min Son skin can be purchased for 1,500 V-Bucks. However, fans looking to get the full experience might consider opting for the Forward Strike Bundle , priced at 2,000 V-Bucks, which includes exclusive cosmetic additions tied to the footballer’s real-life persona.
The bundle offers more than just a skin, it features an alternate outfit, the Forward Edge back bling and pickaxe, the Goal Getter wrap, and a signature ‘Camera’ emote inspired by Son’s on-field goal celebrations.
The skin and cosmetics will remain in the Item Shop until June 27 at 7:59 PM ET, giving players about a week to claim the Icon before it potentially disappears from rotation.
What is included in the Heung Min Son bundle?Here’s a breakdown of all Son-themed cosmetics currently available:
As of now, Epic Games hasn’t bundled this with other football skins in a mega pack, which means players will need to purchase each item individually or as part of the Forward Strike Bundle.
Exclusive PC bang rewards in South KoreaIn a region-specific twist, players in South Korea who log in from PC Bang Cafes can unlock temporary exclusive cosmetics. These rewards, however, only last for the duration of the PC Cafe session and won’t be stored permanently in the user’s Fortnite account.
While details remain scarce, this limited-time perk further highlights Epic’s ongoing efforts to grow Fortnite’s appeal in Asian markets, particularly with Heung Min Son’s immense popularity in South Korea.
While Son’s arrival has generated buzz, his release coincided with the Street Fighter crossover - a move that split fan attention. Several players online expressed interest in spending their V-Bucks on Street Fighter cosmetics instead. Still, for fans of the beautiful game, Son’s Fortnite debut is a winning goal
