Son, 27, graduated from the course as the top performer from 157 fellow trainees completing the mandatory service.
An intense schedule saw the forward take part in a host of different activities including shooting and bayonet skills, chemical, biological and radiological training, individual battle and first aid training.
But it was the shooting where Son most excelled, hitting ten out of ten targets.
According to the Korea Herald, a marines corp office said: “He received the ‘Pilsung’ prize which is one of five types of awards for best performers.
“All the courses were judged in a fair and strict manner, and his military training officers have said he went through the training faithfully.”
Son had been pictured were full camouflage gear while holding a gun as he took part in shooting targets.
Men in South Korea are required to complete 21 months of national service before the age of 28.

Spurs are back in training in his absence, but he should be fighting fit upon his return – having been put through combat drills during his service.
Son earned exemption after he guided his country to gold at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, but the former Bayer Leverkusen man is still required to serve three weeks after he returned to South Korea in March.
Prior to his departure for Korea, Son had been out of action with a fractured arm.
