Not Accompanied by Azizah Salsha, 10 Facts About Pratama Arhan's Life in Korea: Cooking Food by Himself - Saving for the Reception

Pratama Arhan joined Suwon FC, which competes in K League 1, the highest tier of football in South Korea. Arhan joined at the beginning of 2024.

The 22-year-old man joined after his contract with Tokyo Verdy expired at the end of 2023. In his new club, Arhan experienced the atmosphere of the South Korean league once on May 26, 2024.

However, Arhan's debut lasted only three minutes as he had to leave the field due to a red card. Arhan had just entered as a substitute in the 73rd minute.

This left-back of the Indonesian national team is said to still need to adapt to the football climate in South Korea. Unfortunately, during this adaptation period, his wife Azizah Salsha is not by his side.

Quoted from the Instagram account @lucyamandezta, it is known that Arhan mentioned Azizah is very busy so she can't catch up. At that time, the account owner indeed met Arhan directly in Korea.

"I asked him why his wife didn't join. With a sad face, he answered, 'she (Azizah) is very busy so she hasn't been able to catch up yet,'" wrote the caption in the video.

It was also revealed that Arhan is also preparing his own needs during this difficult adaptation period. "If he wants to eat, what does he do? He answered, 'sometimes Arhan buys food, sometimes he eats by himself,' everything by himself," the caption continued.

Pratama Arhan also admitted that he is excited to save money, both from his salary as a football player and from several endorsements. He plans to hold a wedding reception.

As is known, Pratama Arhan held a simple wedding ceremony without a reception in Japan on August 20, 2023. When marrying Azizah Salsha, he was still in the Tokyo Verdy uniform.  

Although still adapting, Arhan admitted to remain optimistic about giving his best for his club. During his time in Korea, he also regularly received calls to strengthen the Indonesian national team.
