In the 30th round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (second division) against Millwall at The Den in London on the 2nd (Korea time), England Minhyuk was substituted in the 31st minute of the second half. Yang Min-hyuk, who was loaned to the Queens Park Rangers (QPR) from Tottenham, played immediately and stepped on the British ground for the first time. Yang Min-hyuk was on the waiting list when he was at Tottenham, but he never played. The QPR was unfortunately defeated 1-2.
Yang Min-hyuk, who was replaced by Ilias Chair, showed a sharp appearance from time to time. He even made an effective shot with a powerful right foot three minutes into the game. It was a scene that showed his defense reminiscent of Park Ji-sung and his long-term shooting skills during his time with Gangwon FC. Yang Min-hyuk made all four passes while making nine touches on the day. He also made one tackle in defense. It received a relatively compliant 6.25 rating from Huscoord.
Head coach Xavi Kalm, who temporarily took the helm on behalf of coach Marty Cifuentes, who was unable to sit on the bench due to illness, said in an interview with the club after the game, `I am happy to be with Yang Min-hyuk. A right flanker, a player who provides depth to the side. "I called on him today to attack more for scoring from the side. We changed the build-up system from 3-1 to 4-1 and tried to create a 2-2 situation from the side." "It wasn't easy to play for the first time, but I'm sure he'll help us."
The BBC, a British public broadcaster, also showed a lively appearance with the replacement of Yang Min-hyuk. It gave us a glimpse of what kind of offensive talent we could bring to QPR's attackgave a good evaluation of '

Yang Min-hyuk said, `I'm happy to join QPR. I will do my best for this team." "I have great memories of Korean legend Park Ji-sung who played here. I really wanted to play here, and I want to play regularly every game."
Yang Min-hyuk once said, `When I first made my professional debut in Korea, I was full of desire 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."
Christian Nouri, CEO of QPR, said "We are pleased to introduce Yang Min-hyuk to QPR and provide him with the opportunity to play in English football for the first time." Yang Min-hyuk is one of the world's top prospects who received attention from many elite clubs before moving to Tottenham. QPR has a recent history of working with promising Korean talents. We are happy to write a new chapter in the story with Yang Min-hyuk."
It was a surprise lease. Yang Min-hyuk, who entered the K League 1 stage last season as a semi-professional player, played in the first year of his debut and showed sensational performance of 12 goals and 6 assists, confirming his trip to Tottenham last summer. Amid the big club's love call, Tottenham had Yang Min-hyuk by shooting the club's 18-year-old record and the highest transfer fee to K-League Europe (estimated 4 million euros, about 6 billion won).

In the first leg of the League Cup semifinal against Liverpool on the 9th, he was listed for the first time since entering England, and the opportunity seemed to come. However, the British media also failed to sit on the bench in the third round (round 64) of the FA Cup against Tamworth on the 12th, when they expected to play. It was because of Tottenham's situation. Tottenham has repeatedly been sluggish this season due to the overlapping injury demons. It has fallen to 15th place, not far from the relegation zone. There are even rumors that Enze Postecoglou will be replaced. 'Promising stocks' It was not an environment that could give Yang Min-hyuk a steady chance.
Since then, stories have begun to emerge about Yang Min-hyuk's future. Rumors of a lease have raised their heads. British Football London reporter Alasdier Gold, who is familiar with Tottenham's news, reportedly said on the 27th that Postecoglou will remain in his 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.

Although he didn't get a chance at Tottenham, Yang Min-hyuk's rating was still high. Love calls poured in around the championship. As many as 10 teams, including the championship teams such as Watford, Burnley, Hulciti, Millwall and Swansea City, as well as Birmingham, the first league (third division) where Baek Seung-ho plays, and the three Belgian main pillar league teams, sent love calls.
Yang Min-hyuk's side had a quick meeting with Tottenham. I told you two conditions. First, I asked to go on loan to a club that can play many games, second, a club based in London. The proposal was already sufficient. Tottenham, who was struggling, eventually opened up. Starting with Leighton Orient's loan in the past, he decided to follow the example of Harry Kane, who became the best goalscorer after gaining experience in the lower leagues.
There is an important backstory here. Tottenham also set a condition. It was a half-season loan. Initially, there were offers including a one-year loan, a one-and-a-half-year loan and even a full transfer option after the loan, but Tottenham all declined offers except for a half-season loan. He expressed his clear intention to use Yang Min-hyuk from next season right away.

Cifuentes' unrequited love paid off this winter's transfer market. He has to compete with Japanese Koki Saito and Irish national team Paul Smith, but as head coach Cifuentes has been watching Yang Min-hyuk for a long time, he is expected to get enough opportunities. It was as expected. Yang Min-hyuk, who started on the bench against Millwall, made a quick debut as a substitute.
Meanwhile, QPR ended the game with a disappointing loss. QPR got off to a shaky start, conceding the first goal in the first minute of the first half. Aaron Connolly gave me an unexpected blow. However, he scored the equalizer two minutes later. Alfie Lloyd, who received Kieran Morgan's pass, shook the Millwall net with a sharp right-footed diagonal shot.
