Tottenham got a taste of Korea thanks to its newest member Son Heung-min, 23, who treated the team to a traditional meal Friday.

Tottenham’s official Facebook uploaded a video of the forward bringing Korean food, including spicy chicken and galbi, to the team’s training center.

“I set this up because I wanted to share Korean food with this great team,” Son said. “I like eating homemade Korean food by my mother. Koreans like rice, and eating kimchi makes you healthy and is good for your well-being.”

The video shows the team enjoying japchae, kimbap and chicken gangjung.
