Stuttgart, which sent key striker Nick Boltemade to Newcastle in the summer transfer market, selected Genk's special joker Oh Hyun-kyu as a substitute for Boltemade and set a transfer fee of 28 million euros (about 45 billion won).

However, according to local media reports, after the medical test, Oh Hyun-kyu tried to lower the transfer fee by falling over his cruciate ligament injury history nine years ago, and when Genk refused to do so, the transfer was made impossible.




In response, the German daily 'Built' should Stuttgart have recruited Oh Hyun-kyu? Stuttgart was financially stable, didn't want to take risks' the mood.

Genk's side publicly criticized Stuttgart for being "unfair". After Oh Hyun-kyu scored in the Korea-Mexico match, he captioned it 'Oh Hyun-kyu, winning the medical test 1-0' on the club's official SNS.
