00:00Hello, I'm Hyunmin Sun.

00:09This is my story.

00:14I started maybe when I was like nine years old and also before 2002, but I growing up

00:23with the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and watched a lot of games and this was my dream

00:29to play World Cup and I have a good memory for that.

00:33I growing up and I watched a lot of times Cristiano Ronaldo because he played Manchester

00:39United and his teammate was Park Ji-sung, a South Korean player, they played together.

00:46I watched him a lot of times, that's why he's still my idol.

00:53He's a lot better than me and I just still watch him sometimes in YouTube or some video

01:00clips of him because I can still practice a lot from him.

01:08My agent went to South Korea with some scouts in Hamburg and Nuremberg and they picked three

01:18players in each team and my agent in Hamburg as well, they picked me up and I joined them.

01:29Of course it was difficult but different as well and when I was 16 I left my country away

01:35from my parents but I was just thinking this is my dream to play in Europe, I need to take

01:43the chance, it's not coming every day, I just took the chance.

01:50For me it was difficult and away from parents, away from country at 16 years old, it's not

01:58easy but in my head I was just thinking this is just my dream, I want to keep working hard.

02:07Some people, some players want to join here and not make it, enjoy it and I feel sorry.

02:16I had a good memory and I changed from Hamburg to Leverkusen and then my first game against

02:24Hamburg I scored a hat-trick.

02:26I feel sorry to the Hamburg fans or Hamburg city because this is my first memory because

02:37this was my first hat-trick against my ex-team and I felt sorry and it was my first hat-trick.

02:47For me it was a dream to play in the Premier League and before I moved to England I just

02:51told my manager I want to change to England because I can't take the chance, it's my dream

03:01to play in the Premier League and growing up I watched so many games in the Premier

03:05League and in the first game I had a little bit not good performance and everyone was

03:11worried about maybe the change was too early from Germany to England, everyone was talking

03:17about it but I was confident to play here and all the coaching staff and all the Tottenham

03:25behind me, they support me, they make me better than before, a lot better.

03:32I work really hard, training is really good, even if I don't play the training session

03:38is always tough and you are always fit.

03:41I can't, his big team is impossible because he is just unbelievable, he scores so many

03:47goals, he can score from everywhere, for me he is just one of the best strikers and after

03:55the game as well he is younger than me but he works really hard.

03:59This was my dream, when I was growing up I was thinking when I play for a professional

04:05team everyone just look at me, this is my role model, this is Sonny, this was my dream

04:14but I don't know if everyone is thinking Sonny is my role model but last season I won twice

04:25the Premier League, this made me so happy, this was the best thing you can do, dreaming

04:35you can do what you want but in Korea they say you should dream bigger than what you

04:46think.

04:48Of course the football players are dreaming about the Ballon d'Or or winning a title,

04:55this is one of my dreams.
