'Did the person in charge get hot?'

The English Premier League (EPL) Brighton club has been angered by Korean soccer fans for its ridiculous handling. Yoon Do-young (19), a promising player of the team and the 「Hope of Korean Football」, posted a post in Japanese when he announced the transfer news. It seems that Yoon Do-young's nationality was mistaken for Japan. It is an unacceptable mistake.

The Brighton club announced on its official SNS on the 17th (Korea time) that Yoon Do-young will transfer to Excelsior Rotterdam in the Eredivisie League in the Netherlands on loan. After graduating from high school last year, Yoon Do-young made her professional debut with the K League 1 Daejeon Hana Citizen. Yoon Do-young, who scored one goal and three assists in 19 K League games in the 2024 season, appeared in 12 games in the 2025 season and had one assist.




Then, he signed a five-year contract with Brighton in March, becoming the 19th Korean player ever to sign with the EPL.

However, instead of joining Brighton immediately, Yoon Do-young will play for Excelsior on loan for a season and adapt to the European stage. Brighton made the loan decision to guarantee Yoon Do-young time to play and drive growth. It's not a bad decision for Yoon Do-young.

Moreover, Excelsior is a fairly prestigious club in Eredivisie, Netherlands. It was relegated to the second division and then promoted to the first division again this season. This means that Yoon Do-young will play in the Dutch first division. It is a good opportunity to gain experience in the game.

The Excelsior club also welcomed Yoon Do-young's joining on loan and expressed high expectations. Nils van Duane Excelsior said, `Yoon has the most outstanding rating among young Korean players. be happy to hire someone on loanAfter meeting with the Brighton club over the past few months, Yoon Do-young was brought in. We will need time to adapt to the new environment, but Yoon will be a good fit for the Dutch league."

However, there was an incident that poured cold water on such a friendly atmosphere. He announced the news of Yoon Do-young's lease transfer in Japanese, perhaps due to the mistake of the Brighton club's SNS management manager. It is a serious mistake that Yoon Do-young can be perceived as a Japanese player by overseas fans.

Fortunately, Brighton quickly deleted the Japanese post and posted a new lease transfer announcement in English. But there was no official apology. He seems to be trying to sneak over by hitting it with one happening. However, without the cause of this error and reasonable follow-up measures, this can happen again at any time. This means that Yoon Do-young may be disadvantaged again at any time.
