British public broadcaster 'BBC' shed light on the news of Celtic striker Yang Hyun-joon's selection for the South Korean national football team.

On the 10th (local time) when A-team coach Hong Myung-bo announced the final list of the A-match in March, Yang Hyun-joon was called up for South Korea's World Cup qualifiers at the end of this month. With his first pick in a year, he will join the squad for the Oman-Jordan match,' the report said.

Winger Yang Hyun-joon, who struggled in the early days of the BBC' (Celtic) Glassgo, recently scored four goals and two assists in five Scottish Premiership matches, highlighting his recent performance.




Yang Hyun-joon, who left Gangwon to join Celtic in July 2023, played 31 games (1278 minutes) in the first season, scoring only one goal and three assists. He contributed to the Premiership and Scottish Cup 'Double', but it was difficult to say he was receiving enough opportunities to play.

However, this season, his second season in Europe, he certainly impressed Celtic manager Brandon Rogers. In particular, he has expanded his position in the team with lighter body movements this year. In particular, he scored two goals and one assist in the 29th round of the Premiership against St. Mirren on the 1st, making the BBC's selected team of migration.

He has played 27 games (1,041 minutes) so far, scoring five goals and six assists, and posting double-digit offensive points.

The Scottish media 'The Herald' is proving to be a virtue for Yang Hyun-jun on the 10th. Patience and perseverance have been rewarded with the selection of the national team.

The Herald says Yang competed fiercely for the starting position with high-priority players such as Jota, Daizen Maeda, and Nicholas Kuhn. "It was hard to get time to play, but the important thing is that he made the most of every opportunity. Especially for a few weeks. Now he is one of the best-formed strikers in the Korean national team,' he said.

Manager Rogers said, `Yang Hyun-joon's girlfriend is here now. I told the players to check to see if they could settle her visa so she wouldn't leaveAlong with Jock, Yang expressed great satisfaction with his performance.




He also said "YANG is a really good player. I try hard every day. No complaining, no moaning. He is also strong, he said, giving a thumbs up.

At a press conference to announce the list on the 10th, Hong said, `There have been a lot of young players recently. Yang Hyun-joon Yang Min-hyuk is like that."When I went to Europe this time, Yang Hyun-joon was about the third-ranked player. I played for a short time then. When I talked about it after the game, I could feel that there were difficulties. In February, when I met and left, I have a good performance. I don't think the playing time will be any better than now, but I think it's good for the player and the team to make an impact in a short time."

Yang Hyun-joon made his national team debut through a friendly match with Wales in September 2023 and has played three games so far. He also participated in the 2023 Qatar Asian Cup between January and February last year and played two games.

Yang Hyun-joon will compete in good faith with Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers), Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City) and Um Ji-sung (Swansea City) in the seventh and eighth rounds of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against Oman at Goyang Stadium on the 20th and Jordan at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th.

Hong Myung-bo is leading Group B in the third qualifying round of the World Cup with four wins and two draws (14 points) and no losses. They are three and five points behind Iraq (11 points) and Jordan (9 points), which are ranked third, respectively. If they win both games, they will confirm their advance to the World Cup finals early.
