Yang Min-hyuk made his England debut in the 30th round match of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) against Millwall at The Den in London on the 2nd (Korea time). Despite Yang Min-hyuk's participation, his team QPR was defeated 1-2 by Millwall.
Yang Min-hyuk was first on the list of replacements for the game. It was difficult to expect him to start less than a week after the loan transfer. However, the possibility of playing as a substitute was expected.
Yang Min-hyuk was put in the 31st minute of the second half when QPR was trailing 1-2. Yang Min-hyuk took the ground in place of Ilias Chair. Even though it was a completely different stage, Yang Min-hyuk had no hesitation. After a bold breakthrough in the 33rd minute of the second half, he tried to shoot with his right foot. It was a powerful shot aimed at the top of the goal, and it was what Yang Min-hyuk often showed during the K-League. The shot was unfortunately blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. It was a scene that gave us a glimpse of Yang Min-hyuk's confidence. Yang Min-hyuk continued to walk on the field even though it was his first game, but QPR's attack did not develop effectively and did not take an additional shot opportunity.

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. He was the best prospect in the K-League in the 2024 season. Born in 2006, despite his young age of 18, Yang Min-hyuk was not behind at all at the professional level. Initially, there were not many expectations that he would play as a main player, but Yang Min-hyuk won coach Yoon Jung-hwan's heart in winter training before the season and immediately started the opening game. He also scored his debut goal against Gwangju in the second round, showing his talent from the beginning of the season.
Yang Min-hyuk, who even signed a professional contract, played in 38 K League games and finished the season with 12 goals and 5 assists. It also swept all kinds of awards. Yang Min-hyuk, who won the K-League Young Player of the Month award five times, was delighted with this year's Young Player of the Year and Best 11 at the K-League awards ceremony. Yang Min-hyuk has already demonstrated his skills in various areas such as shooting, passing, goal-making, and kicking on the K-League stage.

Coach Postecoglou also expressed no immediate intention of hiring him. Postecoglou said in a pre-press conference against Newcastle that `" (Yang Min-hyuk Yong-eun) has no special plans yet. Just adaptation is the top priority" "I played in a completely different environment that has so far fallen short of EPL levels. I'm a very young player, so I want to give him time to adjust to this place" he said.
Coach Postecoglou's remarks may be a point about Yang Min-hyuk's coming from a low-level league, but considering Postecoglou's career so far, it is likely to be consideration for adaptation. Postecoglou is a coach who has already experienced the Asian stage while experiencing the J-League. He also has experience watching Asian players adapt on the European stage such as Celtic. Based on these things, it may be judged that Yang Min-hyuk needs to adapt, and it may be a burden to hire him right away.

There was already a possibility of playing in the U-21 team. Paul O'Keeffe, a reporter familiar with Tottenham's news, responded to a question about Yang Min-hyuk's participation, saying, `Yang is currently adjusting to English football. It's just a matter of pure adaptation. There are no injuries or other problems." Asked about the possibility of playing in the Under-21s, Tottenham may consider itYang Min-hyuk said he could play first on the U-21 stage, not the first team.
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 Postecoglou will continue to stay in the current position. Tottenham will try to get at least one player for him in a week. 'The fact that he had to put in a 17-year-old boy and a player not used by the club for two and a half years to change the course of the game says everything about the situation now. As for the fact that Yang Min-hyuk was not chosen 'Yang Min-hyuk does not appear to be 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.

Yang Min-hyuk, who succeeded in making his debut as a substitute immediately after transferring to QPR on loan, is expected to further increase his expectations for a leap forward at Tottenham in the next season if he continues to play in QPR for the rest of the season. Attention is also focusing on what kind of performance Yang Min-hyuk will show.
