Hong Hyun-seok was likely to transfer in the transfer market this summer. This is because he refused to renew his contract with his current team, KAA Hent. The news that Hong Hyun-seok refused to renew his contract with Hent was reported on the 8th (Korea time).
Belgium VP says it is increasingly likely that Hong Hyun-suk will leave Hent. According to Sports Director Ardnar Vidarsson Hent, Hong wants to advance to a higher stage. In the final year of his contract, Hong Hyun-suk wants to start a new adventure. Hent reported that Hong Hyun-suk does not want to leave as a free agent next year when his contract expires.
Vidarsson, the sports director, said "We want to hold onto Hong but the player wants to play on a better stage. The player doesn't like it. I have the right to say, 'I will not sign this contract.'" Hong indirectly expressed that he refused to renew his contract with Hent for a better performance.
When Hong Hyun-suk refused to renew his contract with Hent, Hent immediately wanted to say goodbye to Hong Hyun-suk. If Hong Hyun-seok, who was signed from 2024 to 2025, goes out next summer, Hent has to release the player as an FA.

There were many predictions that Hong Hyun-seok would be preparing to go to the big leagues because he did not renew his contract with Hent because he wanted a better stage. The Belgian league, where Hong Hyun-suk currently plays in the UEFA league coefficient, is ranked eighth in Europe. The higher leagues than the Belgian league include the English Premier League (EPL), Italian Serie A, Spain La Liga, German Bundesliga, French League 1, Dutch League, and Portuguese League.

After winning the gold medal at the Asian Games, Hong Hyun-seok said, "My goal has been to advance to the top five European leagues. A good chance came to win the gold medal. I don't think I'm going to a good league just because I get military service benefits. It's more important to prepare well. I'm used to the German stage, so I want to try the Bundesliga again. I also want to try running in the EPL. If I have a chance, I want to go anywhereHe also expressed his will to advance to the big leagues.

Contrary to expectations, Hong's choice was to transfer to Turkiye Trabzonspor. Yaz Sabunkuolu, who is fluent in the news of Turkiye, said on his personal SNS on the 17th that `Travejonspor and Hent agreed on everything about Hong Hyun-seok's transfer. Trabzonspor signed Hong Hyun-suk to a four-year contract. The athlete was asked to come to Turkiye for a medical examination. Hong Hyun-suk, who agreed with Trabzonspor, said, "I packed my things and said goodbye to my teammates"

When Hong Hyun-seok moved to the Turkiye League, not to the big league, rumors began to circulate. One of them was that Hong Hyun-seok's agent pushed for a transfer to Turkiye, not to the big league.
As if conscious of the rumor, Hong Hyun-seok said on his personal SNS, `I wanted to go, so I asked him to go. The agent's brother is the one who asked not to go." Hong Hyun-seok did not mention his destination, but it is presumed to be an explanation conscious of rumors spreading over the transfer.

The transfer fee shows that Trabzonspor really wanted Hong Hyun-seok. He is the player who spent the most money this season. It is also the second highest paid player since 2020. Hong Hyun-seok seems to have been drawn to the efforts of Trabzonspor, who desperately wanted him.
