Son Heung-min and his South Korean team-mates were pelted with eggs and Union Jack cushions after arriving home from the World Cup, as The Daily Mail reports.

Shin Tae-yong and his team posed for photographs after arriving at the Incheon International Airport on Friday, where they received a warm welcome from the crowd.

But as the squad lined up for customary photos for the press, what seemed like a few disgruntled fans then began to hurl pillows and a few eggs towards the players.

The shell-shocked squad watched on as security guards attended to the commotion before more of the cushions made their way over to the team.

None of the objects managed to hit any of the players in what was mainly a positive welcoming home ceremony for the South Korean side.

Soon after, Son and manager Shin Tae-yong addressed the crowd and said that returning home so soon after crashing out in the group stages was disappointing.

'I didn't want to come home until July and it's disappointing to be back home in June,' Shin said. 'I'd like to thank our fans for their love and support. Without our fans, we wouldn't have been able to create the miracle that we did.'

Such behaviour is really a shame! The team played not so well at the 2018 World Cup, but still they tried their best and managed to secure a win over 2014 World Champions Germany. The team performed at its best, and there is no use for disrespect!
