As soon as Yang Min-hyuk left on loan to Queens Park Rangers, he made a bold impression in his debut match.
Yang Min-hyuk's team, QPR, lost 1-2 to Millwall in the 30th round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) at The Den in London, England, at midnight on the 2nd (last Korean time). QPR lost, but fortunately, the gap with the top six did not widen further. Yang Min-hyuk played as a substitute in the second half and made his England debut.
Yang Min-hyuk, whose transfer to Tottenham was confirmed in July last year, left for England after a short break after the K League 1 of the 2024 season, following Tottenham's request for early joining five months later. Yang Min-hyuk was able to play from 2025 when the transfer market opened and players were able to register.
Unfortunately, Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou did not give Yang Min-hyuk a chance to play. He explained that this was a choice to give time to adapt to the culture of the English and English Premier League, but players have to play to grow and be valued. This is because even if he is still a young Yang Min-hyuk born in 2006, the truth that a player should play applies equally.
Tottenham also allowed Yang Min-hyuk's position to be narrower as Tottenham is seeking to recruit a new striker. Yang Min-hyuk received offers from several clubs, but Tottenham allowed him to leave on loan only until this season, and QPR was selected as a rental club.
QPR is a team that Park Ji-sung and Yoon Seok-young played in the past, and it is already familiar to Korean fans, and its hometown is London, so there were many advantages. As Yang Min-hyuk was brought on loan at a time when the offense was sluggish, he was able to become the main player immediately depending on Yang Min-hyuk's performance. It was judged that it may not be difficult to secure time to play.
QPR said on the 30th "We are happy to confirm Yang Min-hyuk's loan deal at Tottenham. Yang Min-hyuk will remain at QPR for the rest of the season. Yang Min-hyuk, who officially joined Tottenham on January 1, 2025, officially announced his loan signing, saying he is looking forward to his time at QPR. Yang Min-hyuk will play in QPR with the number 47 that he wore at Gangwon FC.

In an interview with the team, Yang Min-hyuk said, `In Korea, I think I played one game and one game with the heart of a rookie. "I'm in my second year now, but I'm in my first year abroad, so I'm going to play with the same mindset," he said, expressing his willingness to play as a rookie.
Regarding the game against Millwall, which could be his debut match, "I'm confident whenever I get a chance. I'm happy to be on this team and I'll play a lot of games to entertain the fans with points and wins"He showed confidence that he could prove his skills even if he played immediately."
QPR coach Marty Cifuendes has not yet performed much team training, and has put Yang Min-hyuk on the bench, who will have a little less sense of play. Yang Min-hyuk made his first debut on the English stage when he was replaced by Ilias Chair in the 31st minute of the second half when his team was being dragged 1-2.

In a short period of time, Yang Min-hyuk fully demonstrated his talent. Yang Min-hyuk, who played as a right winger, actively attacked. In the 33rd minute of the second half, he threatened Millwall's goal with a powerful shot from the square of the penalty box after receiving a pass from his teammate after breaking through.
Yang Min-hyuk did not seem to be pushed back much even in the body fight and competition that was feared. When the opposing players came in with strength, Yang Min-hyuk defended the ball well with clever pressure and speed. There was no mistake in Yang Min-hyuk's performance on the day. The only shot he tried was a threatening effective shot, and the four passes he tried also did not lead to a pass miss.
As the QPR attack showed a lot of frustration overall in the game, Yang Min-hyuk seemed to be able to become the main player if he could quickly hit the offensive point. Unfortunately, in Yang Min-hyuk's debut match, QPR lost 1-2.

Coach Savicam, who is currently in charge of the game on behalf of Cifuentes, who is sick, said "Our players pushed in the second half. The players did it until the end. The impact of the replacement players was goodHe praised Yang Min-hyuk and other replacement players.
The BBC also broadcasted the match, saying "QPR is showing everything to equalize." Yang Min-hyuk's shot was blocked by Millwall's goalkeeper, but he almost left an impression as soon as he debuted," he praised Yang Min-hyuk's flashes.
London World gives Yang a rating of seven, saying his first move was a shot that surprised the goalkeeper. He looks like an outstanding player, but he wasn't a game changer today."
Yang Min-hyuk is aiming to make his debut in the game against Blackburn Rovers scheduled for the 5th.
