Yang Min-hyuk was the hit product of the K League 1 this season. Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon Youth made his K-League debut as a semi-professional contract player this season. Yang Min-hyuk started from the opening game and started with a help in the 32nd second of the first half, then played in all games (38 games) and scored 12 goals and 6 assists.
Yang Min-hyuk was reborn as a rising newcomer in Gangwon, breaking all the club's youngest records, including playing, scoring and attacking points, and also switched to an official professional player during the season. Yang Min-hyuk led Gangwon to second place with his undulating performance throughout the season. Yang Min-hyuk confirmed his transfer to Tottenham with this performance.
Yang Min-hyuk was also the protagonist of the 'Hana Bank K League 2024 Awards Ceremony' held at the Swiss Grand Hotel in Hongeun-dong, Seoul on the 29th. Yang Min-hyuk won the Best 11 MF category and the Young Player Award. In particular, the Young Player Award received 11 votes for directors, 10 votes for captains, and 115 votes for media. The combined score was a whopping 92.16 points. He beat Daegu's Hwang Jae-won (5.00) and Pohang's Hong Yoon-sang (2.84) by a wide margin.
Yang Min-hyuk became the second player to win the Young Player Award in his first year after Kim Min-jae (then Jeonbuk) in 2017. Gangwon produced its third Young Player ever, including Kim Ji-hyun in 2019 and Yang Hyun-joon in 2022, and Yang Min-hyuk in 2024. Gangwon has become the club with the largest number of young players along with Pohang (Kubu Yeol, Kim Seung-dae, and Song Min-gyu).
At a press conference after the ceremony, Yang Min-hyuk said, `I'm happy to win two big awards. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped me receive this award.

Yang Min-hyuk wore a suit for the first time in his life. Yang Min-hyuk "He said he looked cool when he came out in the morning. After receiving two awards, my parents congratulated me on Kakao Talk."
This year, Yang Min-hyuk has achieved everything. The most significant record for him was playing in the next game. He added "I want to put some meaning on my participation in the entire game. I was able to participate in all of those games, so I was able to increase my points."
Yang Min-hyuk picked Yoo Byung-hun from Matan High School as the second Yang Min-hyuk. He said "It's meaningful that he is the same Yang family after Hyun-jun and received the Young Player Award. There are many good players coming in next season. I'm personally looking forward to Yoo Byung-hun."
I thought it was difficult in the winter that I successfully settled in the professional field. It was my first time as a professional, but it was also difficult to live with older brothers who always watched it on TV. The older brothers approached me a lot, and the older brothers acknowledged it, so the difficulties turned into confidence, so I responded well to the professional."
Yang Min-hyuk is a serious personality. He is always calm in front of the goal. He is shy and shy. But now that I'm going abroad, I'll change it and do it."
