'Original YANG'Yang Hyun-joon (Celtic) is a role model for Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers, QPR), the most hit product produced by Korean soccer last year.
Yang Min-hyuk wore No. 47 at Gangwon FC because of Yang Hyun-joon. Yang Hyun-joon flew 47 times in Gangwon in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He moved to Celtic in Scotland in July 2023 after being recognised as the top rising star in the K League.
Yang Min-hyuk took over the K League 1 as a high school student in Gangwon Province last year. 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.
Yang Min-hyuk, who signed with Tottenham last summer, entered London on December 17 (Korean time) last year. Joined early at Tottenham's request. Yang Min-hyuk officially registered as a Tottenham player with the new year. It was widely expected that his English Premier League (EPL) debut would be visible. But the reality was different.

Yang Min-hyuk left Tottenham on the 30th of last month and was loaned to QPR in the English Championship (second division). The lease period is until this season. He rewrote the number 47 and promised a turnaround.
Yang Min-hyuk has been playing as a substitute in QPR for two consecutive games, increasing his playing time. Tottenham's general manager Johan Lange also predicted Yang Min-hyuk's return. He recently said "Leasing is a very important step for the development of players. More than 80% of all players who make their EPL debut have been on loan. And if you look at the most important players in the history of this club, they have also experienced loan as part of their development"It's very important to have a strong rental process. Yang Min-hyuk and others thought that securing more game time in a good environment was the right step in their careers. I'll be back in the summer. I'm ready to play in the pre-season."
While Yang Min-hyuk, born in 2006, is in the spotlight, Yang Hyun-joon, born in 2002, has performed best since moving to Celtic, Scotland. Yang Hyun-joon scored one goal and two assists in the fifth round (round of 16) of the 2024-2025 Scottish Cup against Rays Rovers at Celtic Park in Glasgow, Scotland, on the 9th, leading Celtic to a 5-0 victory.

He started as a left flanker. Yang Hyun-joon helped Daizen Maeda score in the extra time of the first half when his team was leading 1-0. Yang Hyun-joon, who received a space pass from the midfield, quickly fell with his left foot near the left side of the penalty arc and connected the ball to Maeda, who was rushing to the other side.
Maeda tasted the goal with her right foot in front of the goal area. Yang Hyun-joon helped Luke McCawone score a wedge goal in the second minute of the second half. McCawone converted a left-footed cross that Yang Hyun-joon put into the right corner of the penalty area from the front of the net to his right foot to score. Yang Hyun-jun wrote a multi-help book.
Yang Hyun-joon, who gained momentum, scored in the 11th minute of the second half. He dug in Anthony Ralston's cross from the right side to the left of the goal area and connected it with a right non-stop shot to score. Yang Hyun-joon has scored two goals and three assists (including one regular league goal and one assist) in 21 official games this season.
With Japan's Maeda making a hat trick, Celtic advanced to the quarterfinals. Celtic, who is a defending champion and boasts the most wins (42) ever, are trying to win for the third time in a row and the 43rd time in their career.

Yang Hyun-joon is aiming for the European Champions League (UCL) playoff (PO) home game against Bayern Munich (Germany) on the 13th. The game is predicted to have a possibility of 'Korean Derby' on this day. Attention is drawn to the match between Yang Hyun-joon and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich).
Manager Brand Rogers promised to include Yang Hyun-joon on the list. He said "Yang Hyun-jun did very well in today's game. He made a really good goal, but it wasn't an easy goal."Ralston's cross was good, but Yang Hyun-jun had to finish. There is no doubt that Yang Hyun-joon will be included in the list" he said.
And "Yang Hyun-joon's start remains to be seen. But I'm happy with Yang Hyun-joon's performance. We played with a really positive mindset," he added.
