Hey rob, I measure around 181.7cm in the mornings and usually end at 180-179.7cm before bed depending on how active the day was. I'm currently 17 with short parents (both 160-ish), you think I can hit 6ft?
///////////////////////////////////////////
It's definitely possible, I was 5'10 flat at 17, and I am now bang on the same height as you (5'11 flat) at nearly 19 and a half, so you growing to 6'0-6'0.5 or taller is very possible tbh.

I've seen him in person and he is 180cm at most. I'd peg him at 179-180 range.

I feel he is a bit taller than 5”11 flat. Might not be the full 6”0, but thought he was a 181-182cm guy. People claiming he is 5”10 is are delusional.

It will be interesting to know his exact weight.
Always thought he looked 73kg maximum, but now may be the 75-76 kg range is also a possibility because he has very muscular legs

Sonny and Kane broke Premier League's all time scoring/assist duo today. The height difference between them does seem around 7 cm when they were doing the interview and celebrating together.

He is definitely not under 5’11 at any point of the day. I think he wakes up 183 and goes to bed at 181. Or at worst 180.5 cm before bed. I just can’t see him as a flat 5’11.
With shoes he should measure over 6’0.

Rob is spot on with Son's height. Son is definitely in the 5'11" range - my guess is 181/180cm if you take away Son's hair volume.
Harry Winks is listed at 178cm on multiple sources, that means Son is only a few centimetres taller than Winks. Take a look at this:

Well, I have always thought that he is a legit 6 ft (183cm) guy. But when I saw him standing next to Harry Kane (Weak 6 ft 2 guy) that day, he was clearly about 3 inches shorter than him. Quite disappointed that he claimed his height in shoes.

Was on the same flight with him back to Seoul. 180 or thereabouts.
To the commenter who asked, the young generation in S Korea is around 173-174.The average has never exceeded 174 (national military service records) and has plateaued.

It's laughable how some websites measure him as 6ft, let alone 5ft11. This guy is same height or barely taller than his coach Mourinho who's listed 5ft9. Given that his coach has any footwear advantage (which I doubt, cause it would be super obvious) in the photo taken, I'd give Son extra 1 inch max. That being said, he should more less be the same height as his team mate Ericsen (5ft10).

I’ve been waiting for this listing for a while to see what Rob thought, after seeing the Christian Eriksen listing I thought that Son couldn’t possibly be the 6ft that he’s listed at pretty much everywhere. After looking at more and more photos of Son with teammates I find it hard to believe he’s even over 5ft11 now, I’d 5ft10 3/4 at best.

Doesn’t look like a flat 5’11”, I’d give him around 181cm. He’s about 88th percentile around Korean men ages 18-24, always looks solid tall in every group photo or video of him among Koreans.

Strong 5'11. Can definitely see Son at 5'11 ½. Has usually taller hairstyles with some thick hair which makes him look extra tall. Good player with a good height.

Editor RobThe South Korean average has increased and hasn't plateuad like America for instance. I believe the young 18-20 year old South Koreans are nearer 5ft 9 on average now. It would take a lot longer for a country to reach average 5ft 11 though.
