Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk) is flying.
Oh Hyun-kyu exploded the first goal in the 14th round of Belgium's main pillar professional league in the 2025-2026 season against Hent at the Hent Planet Group Arena in Belgium on the 10th (Korea time). It was his eighth goal of the season and his third in a row. Genk, who led Oh Hyun-kyu's first goal, drew 1 to 1. Genk went on to win eight official games. It was ranked seventh in the league.
Oh Hyun-kyu, who started as a one-top player, showed great performance on the day. In the 24th minute of the first half, Carrezzas stabbed Oh Hyun-kyu with an exquisite pass. Oh Hyun-kyu, who received the ball near the left side of the penalty box, quickly attempted a right-footed shot. The shot deflected off Volkeert's body and was sucked into the goal.
Oh Hyun-kyu, who scored consecutive goals in the fourth Europa League phase against Braga on the 7th following the 13th round of the Jubilee Professional League on the 2nd, is showing off his outstanding scoring ability with three consecutive goals in official matches. Oh Hyun-kyu has five regular league goals and three Europa League goals this season, a total of eight goals. Oh Hyun-kyu completed a double-digit offensive point (8 goals and 2 assists) for the season in less than the first half.

According to the soccer statistics media 'Foot Mob', Oh Hyun-kyu received a 7.3 rating as he scored one goal along with 20 touches, four shots, one effective shot and one recovery while going on the ground for 74 minutes. The local press 'Het Ratstenius'Henk missed the victory, but Oh Hyun-kyu's destructive power is getting closer to completion. He has scored three goals in the last three games, leading the team's offensive flow, he said.
Oh Hyun-kyu, who had a hard time suffering from the failure of the German Bundesliga's Stuttgart transfer at the deadline of the summer transfer market, has been upgraded with eight goals since September, including his team and the national team, and five goals since October. It is expected that he will be able to play the A-match in November in his peak condition by scoring a goal before the match against Hent. Hong Myung-bo will face Bolivia in Daejeon on the 14th and then meet Ghana in Sangam on the 18th.
Oh Hyun-kyu has emerged as the core of Hong's national team, scoring four goals (six goals in 23 games), the most in six games since June. In particular, competition is inevitable as Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan), who has not been called up to the national team due to an injury, re-elected to the national team for the first time in a year and eight months in this A match. Oh Hyun-kyu is determined to gain the upper hand in the competition with his best condition. If the two create synergy, Hong Myung-bo's offense can be that strong. There could be a variety of options for the national team, with the position of Son Heung-min (LAFC) also being lowered to the second line.
