South Korean national team striker Oh Hyun-kyu (25, Besikta City) is raving local fans by rewriting the club's history immediately after entering the Turkiye. In particular, he exploded expectations by leaving a confident interview immediately after writing the milestone of three consecutive goals after the transfer.

Turkiye media "Putospor" reported an interview with Oh Hyun-kyu shortly after his 4-0 victory over Goethefe on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time). In the match, Oh Hyun-kyu scored his team's fourth goal, making him the first player in Besikta's 123-year history to score goals in all three games since his transfer.

"I used to imagine scoring a goal every game before coming to Besikta City, but I've done it so far," Oh Hyun-kyu said through "Putospor," adding, "When I go to the stadium here, I feel comfortable as if I'm in my home or in Korea." "The hospitality and atmosphere of the fans make me very happy," he said.

"In fact, I play every game, including this morning, thinking it's my last game. I think that kind of mindset appears as a goal," he added.

Among local fans, he showed a humble reaction to being compared to the Japanese cartoon character "Captain Tsubasa." Oh Hyun-kyu said, "I can't compare myself to Tsubasa. He's just a cartoon character," he said with a smile.

In addition, Oh Hyun-kyu said, "I also want to score a fantastic goal every game and I've been like that so far. I hope this trend will continue in the future."

In particular, interesting anecdotes were also revealed with coach Sergen Yalchen at the game. Oh Hyun-kyu said, "I had a hunch that I would score a goal, so I told the coach through the coach team, 'Let me play a little more, I want to score a goal.' Immediately after that, I actually scored a goal," he said.

Even immediately after scoring, manager Yal-Chan covered his head and kneeled on the ground, making an incredible cheer.

Oh Hyun-kyu's performance on the day was also proven by records. Foot Mob, a soccer statistics media, gave Oh a 7.7 rating.

Oh Hyun-kyu played full time for 90 minutes and scored with a strong shot despite an expected score (xG) of only 0.05. In addition, he constantly bothered the opponent's defense by recording six fouls, the most by both teams, and showed a dedicated play on both sides of offense and defense, recording a 55% success rate (6/11) and a pass success rate of 81%.

Oh did not forget to thank Korean fans who visited the stadium. He said, "I'm grateful to the fans for coming a long way. Cheering can sometimes be a pressure, but in the end, I prepared more thoroughly because I wanted to repay it with three consecutive goals. I'm glad the result was good."

Oh Hyun-kyu, who joined Besiktashi last winter for 14 million euros (24.1 billion won), tied for the third place in transfer fees, has completely washed away the pain of failing to go to Stuttgart, Germany. Just as Kim Min-jae headed to a big club through Turkiye in the past, Oh Hyun-kyu is also on an unprecedented rise in his career, showing off his enormous presence on the European stage ahead of the 2026 North-China World Cup.
