Oh Hyun-kyu started in the first round of the Belgian main pillar league against Club Brugge in the 2025-2026 season at Jan Breidel Stadium in Brugge, Belgium on the 28th (Korea time) and scored the first goal nine minutes into the game. After receiving a pass from Konstantinos Carrejas, he scored with a right-footed turning shot from the penalty arc.
His half-beat fast shooting stood out. Three opposing defenders rushed in and tried to block the shot, but Oh Hyun-kyu's shot was a flashlight.
It was the first goal of the South Korean national team from Europe. European big leagues such as the English Premier League (EPL) and the German Bundesliga will open next month. The main pilot took his first step on the 26th.
Oh Hyun-kyu is constantly being called by A national team coach Hong Myung-bo. A front-line striker for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup, which opens in June next year, has already been booked.
Not only did it raise expectations to the fullest, but it also changed its status. Oh Hyun-kyu scored nine goals in the league last season, but Joker was the main task. He appeared in 36 games in the league, but only three starts.

The soccer record site 'Foot Mob' gave Oh Hyun-kyu's first goal an expected score (xG) '0.2'. It meant that there was only a 20% chance of scoring a goal, but the current situation was different.
Genk finished third in the league last season and will play in the Europa League this season. Oh Hyun-kyu received a love call from the prestigious Feyenoord in the Netherlands, but Genk refused.
The prevailing view was that Oh Hyun-kyu is likely to be used as the main player, not as a replacement for the new season. He proved his worth through goals from the first game.
