Hong Hyun-suk (27), who returned as Hent, made a successful comeback.

Hent won 4-2 at home in the 21st round of the "2025-2026 Main Pillar League" against Anderlecht at Planet Group Arena in Hent, Belgium on the 18th (Korea time).

Hent, who added three points, rose to sixth place with 29 points (8 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses). Anderlecht came in fourth with 35 points (10 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses).

Hong Hyun-seok transferred to his former team Hent on loan on the 15th, and his return match took place on the same day.

On this day, Hong Hyun-seok started as an offensive midfielder in the 4-2-3-1 formation. Hong Hyun-seok, who served as the starting point of the attack, led the team's build-up with active activity despite not playing well recently. When defending, he also came down deep to the central midfielder line and served as the primary cordon. He also scored a sharp shot in the 13th minute of the first half.

Hong Hyun-seok, who played about 66 minutes until he was replaced in the 21st minute of the second half, failed to score an offensive point, but indirectly contributed to the 4-2 complete victory.

Hong Hyun-seok moved to Hent in August 2022 and played as a key midfielder for two seasons. Based on his performance at Hent, he moved to Mainz, the German Bundesliga, where Lee Jae-sung, a senior member of the national team, plays in August 2024.

However, he failed to get a chance to play and was loaned to Ligue 1 club in France ahead of this season. The ordeal also continued in Nantes. After playing only six games this season, he returned to Hent, who showed his best form through the winter transfer market. He played in 104 games and scored 18 goals and 20 assists in two seasons from 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 at Hent.

"Foot Mob," which specializes in soccer statistics, gave Hong Hyun-seok a mid-range rating of 7.2 within the team, giving him an easy evaluation.
