The website 'Spurs Web', which delivers Tottenham news, published an article on the pronunciation of Yang Min-hyuk's name on the 28th (Korea time), before Tottenham and Gangwon clubs posted Yang Min-hyuk's transfer official.
An anchor of the sports media 'Sky Sports' reported Yang Min-hyuk's Tottenham-related report on the 26th and made Yang Min-hyuk a local style 'Min-Hook-?He pronounced "S" (min hyukyang)', drawing attention among Korean soccer fans. Minhyuk and Minhyuk?The main opinion was whether S was the same player.
Pronounced sheep as ?S and Minhyuk as Minhuk, giving the impression of introducing a player from Southeast Asia.
'Spursweb' gave a good example. Alasdair Gold, a reporter for the London-based magazine 『Football London" who also visited Korea during Tottenham's visit to Korea, shared a video pronouncing exactly 'Yang-Min-hyuk' on YouTube. Gold was praised for his Korean pronunciation, which took his surname forward.
Based on this, he advised the public that 'spursweb' should be pronounced 'Yang-Min-H-yook' so that it will not be wrong. Nevertheless, it is expected that local reporters and fans will have quite a hard time pronouncing Yang Min-hyuk's full name.
Currently, players with names that are difficult to pronounce in the EPL include Liverpool's Dominique Sobosler, Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski, Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk, Brighton's Facundo Buonanote, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Bournemouth's Ilya Zavarnii.

Kim Byung-ji, CEO of Gangwon-do, explained on the club's YouTube Live that it is the highest transfer fee among players who went straight from the K-League to the European stage, and that the contract included mandatory transfer of Asian Games to develop national competitiveness.

On the afternoon of the 28th, Yang Min-hyuk, who met Son Heung-min, who visited Korea as part of the Coupang Play series on his way back from a medical test, said, `I said I'm doing very well, and I told you to study English hard."," he said.

Yang Min-hyuk, who scored eight goals and four assists in 25 games this season, his professional debut season, has made an impact beyond the Young Player Award to surpass the K-League MVP.
Gangwon announced last month that it signed a professional contract with Yang Min-hyuk, a semi-professional player, and included an option of 100 million in bonuses for MVP as a motivation.
Yang Min-hyuk, a winger who plays both sides, said he will do his best to aim for Gangwon's championship the rest of the season and then take on the challenge at Tottenham.
Yang Min-hyuk, who was selected for the team K League, will make his first appearance to Tottenham fans through a friendly match against Tottenham at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st.
