South Korea's national team striker Oh Hyun-kyu (25, Besikta City) wrote a new club history at the same time as he landed on the Turkiye stage. In all three games played immediately after the transfer, he scored a goal and achieved a milestone no one in Besikta's 123-year history.

Oh Hyun-kyu helped his team win 4-0 with a cannonball shot against Goethepe in the 23rd round of the Turkiye Schiffer League at Tuprash Stadium in Istanbul, Turkiye, on the 23rd (Korea time).

Oh Hyun-kyu, who left KRC Genk (Belgium) through the transfer market last winter and wore a Besiktashi uniform, continued his phenomenal scoring streak of three consecutive games since his transfer.

On this day, Besiktashi took the lead with Wilfred Ndidi's first goal nine minutes into the game. In the 36th minute, Amir Murillo scored an additional goal to end the first half 2-0.

The offensive continued in the second half. Besikta City, which widened the gap with Junior Olaitang's goal in the 14th minute, won a great victory with Oh Hyun-kyu's net in the 29th minute.

Personal abilities shone. Oh Hyun-kyu shook the opponent's net with a powerful right-footed shot after receiving a pass stabbed by Vaclav Cherni from the right side.

As a result, Oh Hyun-kyu is the first player in Besiktashi's club history to score goals in all three games since the transfer. Besikta City, which has won two consecutive games, has 12 wins, seven draws, four losses, and 43 points to maintain its fourth place in the league.

It was unusual since our debut. Oh Hyun-kyu impressed with a fantastic left-footed overhead kick in the 9th minute of the second half in his debut match (2-2 draw) against Alanyaspor on the 9th. Oh Hyun-kyu, who appeared splendidly with one goal and a penalty induction at the time, was selected as the best goal in the 21st round of fan voting by the Schiffer League Secretariat. Local media "McCollique" also listed Oh Hyun-kyu as Round Best 11.

The upward trend continued in the match against Vashakshehir (3-2 win) on the 16th. Oh Hyun-kyu scored one goal and one assist alone on the day and was selected as the man of the match (MOM). Foot Mob, a statistical media outlet, gave Oh Hyun-kyu an 8.5 rating, the only 8-point range and highest score in both teams.

At the time, Oh Hyun-kyu said on the club's website, "I think Besiktashi is my destiny. I really wanted to come here, and I enjoy every moment I experience here," he said, adding, "The goal before the World Cup is to score as many goals as possible." On the captain who also helped, Quique Chueh said, "Quique Chueh is a fantastic player. We proved on the field that we understand each other well," he added.

It is a strong performance that the prestigious German club will regret. Oh Hyun-kyu was recruited as Besiktashi for 14 million euros (about 24.1 billion won), which is tied for third place in transfer fees this winter, as he narrowed his position despite scoring double digits for two consecutive seasons in Genk.

In fact, Oh Hyun-kyu was likely to join Stuttgart, Germany, in September last year, but Stuttgart suffered from withdrawing the contract at the medical test stage, taking issue with the history of cruciate ligament injuries in the past.

However, Oh Hyun-kyu leaves behind the regret of his failure to go to the big league and dominates the league without a period of adaptation to the Turkiye. Just as Kim Min-jae headed to a big club through Fenerbahce in the past, Oh Hyun-kyu is also using Turkiye as an important foothold on the European stage. Oh Hyun-kyu's explosive scoring ability, which came just four months before the 2026 North-China World Cup finals, is expected to be a great boon for Hong Myung-bo, who is struggling with frontline striker resources.
