Despite his tender age, Min-hyeok has already shone at senior club level, netting eight goals and providing four assists in 25 K League appearances for Gangwon so far in 2024. His first goal for the club in a 4-2 defeat to Gwangju in March saw him become the youngest K League goalscorer in 11 years.
The teenager is a right-footed winger who is comfortable on either flank and is also turning heads at youth national team level, picking up 23 caps for South Korea at U16 and U17 levels combined, scoring twice and providing another two assists.
Min-hyeok is enjoying a run of three straight K League Young Player of the Month awards, scooping the crown in April, May and June.
Alongside current club captain Son Heung-min and Lee Young-pyo, Min-hyeok is the third South Korean player to sign for Tottenham.
