Hong Hyun-seok (KAA Hent) came forward.
On the 18th (Korea time), Hong Hyun-seok posted on his SNS page, "'I asked you to go because I wanted to go. Agent-type didn't want to go."' I wrote. It was an explanation of the recent transfer rumors.
Hong Hyun-seok is likely to move to Trabzonspor of Turkiye recently. Turkiye reporter Aziz Sabun Koglu wrote on his SNS, "'Travejonspor and Hent have agreed to transfer Hong Hyun-seok. Trabzonspor signed Hong Hyun-suk to a four-year contract. Hong will soon head to Turkiye for a medical test. Hong said he had already said goodbye to the Hent squad.
Sasha Tabolieri, who is famous for having the highest public confidence among journalists who report news on Belgium, also reached an agreement on the transfer of Hong Hyun-seok on his personal SNS. Hent will receive a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros (about 6.7 billion won) and a bonus of 500,000 euros (about 740 million won). Hong said he will leave Belgium for Turkiye and sign a four-year contract.
If Hong Hyun-seok moves to Trabzonspor, he will be the third Korean player to play for Trabzonspor after Lee Eul-yong and Seok Hyun-jun. The Turkiye Leaguer will be born two years after Kim Min-jae, who played for Fenerbahce until the summer of 2022.

Hong Hyun-suk was the ace of Hent. Hong Hyun-seok, a former Ulsan HD Youth, transferred to Belgium's Hent in the summer of 2022 after passing through Unterhaing (Germany), Junior, and LASK Linz (Austria) in 2018. Hong Hyun-seok, who has become the core of the team by scoring six goals and six assists in 37 games in his first season, showed a consistent performance by scoring five goals and six assists in 30 games last season. He has been performing more well this season. He started all three league games and played in both Europa Conference League qualifiers and second-round matches against Viking Gour (Iceland), scoring 2 goals and 3 assists. As he performed very well in Belgium, all over Europe paid attention to Hong Hyun-seok.
Fans showed expectations that Hong Hyun-seok could enter the big league. In fact, Hong Hyun-seok was connected to Germany's Bundesliga and Italy's Serie A. But Hong Hyun-suk's choice was Trabzonspor.
Trabzonspor is one of Turkiye's most prestigious. Trabzonspor won seven Schiffer League titles and nine turquoise cup titles. Based in Istanbul, the capital of Turkiye, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktash are the next teams. It is also deeply connected to Korea. The team that Lee Eul-yong played in, who made his first European advance since the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is Trabzonspor. Seok Hyun-jun also put himself in the Trabzonspor. Although he is not a Korean player, coach Senol Günesch, who led FC Seoul in the past and was connected to the Korean national team until recently, also led the team.

Trabzonspor is a solid team in Turkiye, but it is true that it is small compared to the top five European league teams that fans want. As a result, some fans expressed regret when Hong Hyun-seok's next destination was narrowed down to Trabzonspor, and in fact, some fans went to Hong Hyun-seok's SNS and commented directly. In particular, criticism was intensified in the process, saying that the choice of Trabzonspor was decided by the agent, not Hong Hyun-seok.
Hong Hyun-seok eventually explained this himself. This is the background where he wrote in the run-up to the Travjonspor transfer 'I decided it wasn't the agent'.
Hong Hyun-suk has emerged as a new talent in Korean soccer. Hong Hyun-seok, who was selected for the A national team for the first time by then coach Jurgen Klinsmann in June last year, also played in the Qatar Asian Cup in January. 'Role model'Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) played a great role as a substitute. Although he has not yet established himself as a main player, he was constantly called under Hwang Sun-hong and Kim Do-hoon. He is also one of the players expected under Hong Myung-bo. Hong played 12 A matches.

In particular, Hong Hyun-seok performed very well at the Hangzhou Asian Games in September last year. At that time, Hong Hyun-seok, who went between offensive and central midfielders, gave the team a gold medal with his unique strong mobility, excellent skills, and sensational play. He also enjoyed military service benefits with the Asian Games gold medal. Hong Hyun-suk is not a small age, but he is old enough to take off through another challenge. This is why he chose Turkiye as a forward base following Hent. In the European league ranking, it is ranked 9th after Belgium's main pillar league, but it is evaluated that the competitiveness within the club is higher. If you are competitive in Trabzonspor, it will be easier to enter the top five leagues. Kim Min-jae, who moved to Serie A's Napoli in just one season with a strong performance in Fenerbahce, is a good case.
