South Korea lost its opening two matches but still entered the game with a chance to advance.
Sweden coach Janne Andersson spoke of his huge pride after his side topped the group with second-half goals against Mexico from Ludwig Augustinsson, Andreas Granqvist and an own goal from Edson Alvarez to move into a last-16 meeting with Switzerland.
The changes didn't produce the desired effect early on, with Germany's attack once again slow and disjointed, struggling to break down a South Korean back line that had looked fragile in their last game against Mexico, a 2-0 loss.
South Korea added one more as time expired, Son tapping in after Manuel Neuer had gone up the pitch as Germany searched for a goal.
However, they conceded two late goals, to Young-Gwon Kim and Son Heung-min, to get knocked out at the Group Stage for the first time since 1938.
No team since Brazil in 1962 has defended their World Cup title.
The goal was ruled out offside on field but confirmed by use of the Video Assistant Referee.
A 93rd minute own goal by the unfortunate Yann Sommer from a Bryan Ruiz penalty gave the central American side a deserved 2-2 draw on a night of late drama.

Heading into today's final set of matches in the group, South Korea was essentially playing for pride against the defending champion Germany squad.
"It was only after the match that we found out the other score, of course we were disappointed and that's why some of us cried".
"We believed until the end even with the 0-1 (deficit) we tried to turn it but we could not score", said Hummels, after Germany became the tournament's third champions in succession to go out at the group stage.
The loss defines what has been a disastrous World Cup for Germany, which began with a defeat by Mexico.
"We need to congratulate our opponents", Loew said.
The Germans are the fourth of the last five World Cup winners to be going home after the first round.
After failing to fire in their opening match in Russian Federation, a 1-1 draw against Switzerland, Brazil appear to be finding their normal fluency with each match as they go in search of a sixth World Cup. A lot of things we built up since 2006, always at least (a) semi-final.
