Yang Min-hyuk (19), who failed to make his debut in the English Premier League (EPL), is trying to make his first appearance in the Championship (second division).
The Queens Park Rangers (QPR) will play Millwall in the 30th round of the 2024-2025 English Championship at 0:00 p.m. on February 2nd (Korea time). It's a busy QPR on its way. QPR is ranked 13th in the championship (38 points, 9 wins, 11 draws, 9 losses).
It is six points behind Middlesbrough (44 points), which is sixth place in the playoffs for promotion to the first division. Millwall is ranked 14th (37 points) this weekend. It is one point behind QPR. It's a collision that can change the ranking. In particular, since it is a meeting between two teams based in London, bloodshed is expected.
Yang Min-hyuk left Tottenham on the 30th and was loaned to QPR. The lease period is until this season. After receiving number 47, he promised a turnaround.
Yang Min-hyuk said, `I'm happy to join QPR. I'll do my best for this team."I have wonderful memories of Korean legend Park Ji-sung who played here. I really want to play consistently" he said.
And "When I first made my professional debut in Korea, I was full of yearning to play in a professional league. Came to England now, still hungry for success. It is a great pleasure to join QPR and I will do my best every game for the team's victory and the happiness of the fans. I'm ready to play at any time."

Yang Min-hyuk joined early at Tottenham's request. He left the country on the 16th of last month and entered London on the 17th. Yang Min-hyuk officially registered as a Tottenham player with the new year. It was widely expected that his EPL debut would be visible.
He is the best hit product produced by the best Korean soccer player last year. Kangwon FC took over the K League 1 as a high school student. He played in all 38 games and scored 12 goals and six assists. He also received the Young Player Award for his overwhelming support. Although he did not make his debut, he was called by national team coach Hong Myung-bo and wore the national flag.
Moreover, Tottenham groaned from the main players' string injuries in a murderous schedule. It was judged as an opportunity for Yang Min-hyuk. However, coach Enze Postecoglou, who holds the key, turned away from Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk did not play a single game.
When asked about the `Yang Min-hyuk plan' earlier this month, Postecoglou said, `There are no special plans at this time. be set to fit in`"Yang Min-hyuk is still very young, from the other side of the world. The level of competition there (Korea) cannot be compared to the level you will face here (England). So I'm giving him time to adjust", he explained.
Son's name is also mentioned. He added "It helps a lot that Son Heung-min is here. He is helping Yang Min-hyuk both inside and outside the club. I'm trying to help you settle down quickly. It's giving me a chance to adapt. There are no special plans, and we will proceed according to the situation while watching the adaptation."

Yang Min-hyuk was listed three times in the entry alone. He was included on the list for the first time on the 9th in the first leg of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) semifinals of the 2024-2025 season against Liverpool. Tottenham won 1-0 and dominated the advantageous position to advance to the finals.
He was expected to make his debut in the third round of the FA Cup against Tamworth, the fifth division (National League) held on the 12th, but was excluded from the entry. After Everton on the 19th, Yang Min-hyuk joined the entry for two consecutive games in the 22nd and 23rd rounds of the EPL against Leicester City on the 26th, but he was not called. It wasn't quite 'Joker'. Yang Min-hyuk was just 'Fill the Numbers' in the entry.
Regarding Yang's lease, Postecoglou said, `It is to give a chance to adapt to a new culture, a new environment, a new league, and a new country. He is very young and we think we need to make him adaptable"The last thing I want to do in our current situation is put in another young player. We have enough players to expose, and they are doing very well. Yang Min-hyuk is definitely a long-term player to invest in a football club, and we have to do the right thing for him."

After Yang Min-hyuk's departure, Tottenham defeated Elpsborg (Sweden) 3-0 in the final Europa League (UEL) phase on the 31st and went straight to the round of 16. Coincidentally, Yang Min-hyuk's competitor, young blood from Youth, all scored goals.
Dane Scarlett, 20, who just returned from his lease, opened the door. He was substituted and scored the first goal with a header from Dejan Kulusevski's cross in the 25th minute of the second half.
In the 39th minute of the second half, 19-year-old Damola Ajay shook the net 3 minutes and 39 seconds after her debut stage.
In the 49th minute of extra time, Mikey Moore, born in 2007, scored a wedge goal. Moore, who was 17 years old and 172 days old when he scored a European goal, broke the record of being the youngest English player (17 years and 245 days) set by Jimmy Greaves in October 1957.
Even if Yang Min-hyuk was at Tottenham, he could not play in the league phase because he was not registered in UEL. From now on, it's up to Yang Min-hyuk. You have to prove your worth in QPR so that you can draw a new future even when you go back to Tottenham.
