Special Drops - 'Sonny' Son Heung-Min Event Results

Posted: 11 Aug 2021 12:00 AM PDT

Hello Survivors!

First of all, we want to thank you all for expressing your excitement and sending us your thoughtful feedback throughout our adventure of various events and collaborations – and we hope you'll continue to do so!

Speaking of events, we hope that you're enjoying your Son Heung-min helmets that were obtainable from the latest event that's been going on in the battlegrounds for the past two weeks.

If you were, then great, as we have finally picked our winners among the users who had earned the SON HEUNG-MIN – HELMET (LEVEL 3) item during the Special Drops – 'Sonny' Son Heung-Min Event.

Therefore, without further ado, we will now be announcing the LUCKY SONNY event winners who will be taking home their prize: another Son Heung-min helmet, but in real life!

(Drumroll, please.)

(Steam) JHANDC**
(Steam) BLACK—**
(Steam) ZAODIANXIHU**
(Steam) NA-TAEHE**
(Kakao) NICE_J**

Congratulations!

We ask of the lucky five players above to send the following information to pubg_luckysonny@krafton.com BY AUGUST 18TH, 2021:

A SCREENSHOT of your character (alone; no team picture!) at the lobby where we can clearly see your nickname
YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA NICKNAME that we can contact (Instagram / Twitter / Weibo / Discord / Naver Cafe / etc.)
(We'll be sending you DMs for additional verification and home address confirmation.)

If any winner from above does not reply back to us by August 18th, we'll, unfortunately, be giving their spot to another player – no one wants to see that happening, so if you spot a familiar nickname on that list, make sure to inform them of the good news!

PUBG congratulates you once again; hope to see you on the Battlegrounds!
