In the 31st round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) against Blanburn Rovers at Loftus Road Stadium in London, England, on the 5th (Korea time), Ang Min-hyuk played as a substitute in the second half and played two consecutive games. QPR won 2-1 against Blanburn.
QPR scored the first goal in the fifth minute of the first half when Cher's kick finished with Fry's header in a free kick situation. However, Saito's foul led to a penalty kick in the 7th minute of the second half, and he dedicated the equalizer. Yang Min-hyuk was put in at 1-1 in the second half. He replaced Paul Smith in the 21st minute of the second half.
Yang Min-hyuk contributed to the winning goal after the substitution. The active movement stood out. Yang Min-hyuk caught the ball in the box in the 31st minute of the second half when the cross came up. It was caught by the defense in the process of trying to break through after the left-footed shooting fake, and as the ball flowed backward, Jack Coleback finished it with a shot and shook the Blanburn net. If the score had not been scored, Yang Min-hyuk's movement could have earned a penalty, so it was an important enough attack scene. In addition, Yang Min-hyuk was active as a right winger by pressuring his opponent strongly. QPR won by maintaining a one-goal gap.
There was a good evaluation of Yang Min-hyuk. England's 'West London Sports' praised Yang Min-hyuk with a rating of 6 and 'He showed off his lively performance in his home debut. Considering the short period of time, it was a good enough compliment. While West London Sports was evaluating the game, Yang Min-hyuk, who came on loan from Tottenham, made his home debut, and a callback was also put into the game. They then contributed to the chaotic winning goal,' he said, praising Yang for his contribution to the team during the final match.

Director Lange was asked about the lease of young players, including Yang Min-hyuk, in the process. He added "Will Rankshire, Yang Min-hyuk and Luca Gunther went out. Asked how exciting it is for them and what is important for the club, "Lease is a very important step in a player's development. 80% of players making their debuts in the EPL experience a loan. Some of the most important players in the club's history have also experienced loan as part of their development. Therefore, having rental experience is very important"
Then "Will and Luca and Yang Min-hyuk, we thought it was the right step in their careers for them to go out and have a lot of playing time in a good environment. That is an important part. The players will return in the summer and are ready to compete here again in the pre-season,' he said, adding that he would be able to compete in Tottenham's first team again after returning on loan.
In fact, Tottenham has recently grown through leases and established itself as a legend of the club. That's Harry Kane. Kane has grown since making his professional debut through Tottenham Youth, experiencing four second-tier clubs on loan - Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City - and has since grown into a tremendous player in the first team. Yang Min-hyuk can also expect to settle in the first team after sufficiently renting along these routes.

Yang Min-hyuk once said, "When I first made my professional debut in Korea, I was full of yearning to play in a professional league"I've come to England now, and I'm still hungry for success." "It is a great pleasure to join QPR and I will do my best every season for the victory of the team and the happiness of the fans."I'm ready to run at any time."
Earlier, Yang Min-hyuk received 18 jersey numbers and was included in the first-team squad after registering for Tottenham's squad in January, drawing great attention. However, the English Premier League (EPL) is a completely different stage. The world's best striker Son Heung-min is also difficult to guarantee his performance every season, and it is a league where world-class players struggle. Moreover, adapting at a young age may not be easier. Spurs Webb of England wrote, `Tottenham fans should be patient with Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk had a lot of expectations and shone in the K League. However, the step he takes is tremendous. He said he would compete in the world's most difficult league and undoubtedly face a huge challenge.

Some even argued that it was a recruitment for marketing. Spursweb said the recruitment of Yang Min-hyuk would not have been as welcome as other young talents such as Lucas Veribal. Some fans said, 'Since Tottenham has many Korean fans, it is speculated that the club's marketing matters may have influenced the recruitment.'
In the end, Tottenham's choice was on loan. Earlier on the 27th, Alasdier Gold, a reporter from Football London in England who is familiar with Tottenham's news, said that Yang Min-hyuk was not chosen as an option right away. This tells us a lot that the club's recruitment policy is for the future rather than now. Yang Min-hyuk explained that Yang Min-hyuk could leave on loan instead of Tottenham's debut, saying, 'If Tottenham recruits a new striker and an appropriate growth destination emerges, it could be loaned out in the January transfer market.

Immediately, the British media also received favorable reviews. England's London World is 'Yang Min-hyuk's first play was a shot that made the goalkeeper scramble. He seems to be a player who will excite the fans. However, today was not a game changer, he praised it. He even gave Yang Min-hyuk, who played as a substitute in the second half, a team-high score of seven points. The BBC, a British public broadcaster, also said 'Yang Min-hyuk looked lively as a substitute. It was an attack that gave us a glimpse of what could be added to the QPR attack.
The coaching staff also gave a lot of praises. Head coach Xavi Kalm, who led the game team on behalf of coach Marti Tsifuentes, said "I'm happy to be with Yang Min-hyuk. A right winger who will provide depth for side attacks. I ordered more attacks to score from the side. Changed the build-up system from 3-1 to 4-1 and tried to create a 2v2 situation on the side. His first appearance wasn't easy, but I'm sure he'll help us," he said in compliments.
Immediately after his QPR loan, Yang Min-hyuk, who played in two consecutive games with his debut, even showed a positive sign for the next season. Depending on his performance this season, there is a high possibility that he will get a chance to take a place at Tottenham in the next season.
