About Oh Hyeon-gyu

Born 2001. Oh Hyeon-gyu is a South Korean association football player.

Genk On 14 July 2024, Oh signed a four-year contract with Belgian Pro League club Genk. On 22 September, he scored his first goal for Genk in a 4–0 win over Dender. On 28 September, he led Genk's 2–1 win by scoring twice, while playing 31 minutes as a substitute in the next Pro League match against Mechelen. He scored 1.33 goals per 90 minutes (9 goals in 610 minutes) as he played as a substitute for main striker Tolu Arokodare in his first season at Genk.

In the summer of 2025, Oh had a medical examination in Germany after receiving an offer from Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart. However, the condition of his cruciate ligament did not satisfy Stuttgart, and they requested to convert his permanent move into a loan deal. He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his boyhood, but his knee had no problems during his professional career until this point. Genk refused the request and cancelled his transfer. On 22 August, he scored his first goal at UEFA competitions in the UEFA Europa League play-off first leg against Lech Poznań, which ended in a 5–1 win. On 25 September, he scored the winning goal in a 1–0 win over Rangers, the first league phase match at the Europa League. He played as a main striker for Genk during the first half of the 2025–26 season, but his status at the club was lowered again after manager Thorsten Fink was sacked for poor results until December.
