Oh Hyeon-gyu Shines at Beşiktaş Ahead of the World Cup

As the South Korean national football team finalizes its preparations for the upcoming World Cup, Beşiktaş striker Oh Hyeon-gyu has emerged as a standout performer. Reports from Chosun and Chosunbiz highlight a contrasting run of form among South Korean forwards. While established international stars like Son Heung-min (LAFC) and Cho Gue-sung (Midtjylland) have experienced a recent goal drought spanning nine matches, 25-year-old Oh Hyeon-gyu has been consistently finding the back of the net in the Turkish Süper Lig. Former national team player Lee Young-pyo has publicly tipped the Beşiktaş forward to be South Korea's first goalscorer at the prestigious tournament.
