Oh Hyeon-gyu (; born 12 April 2001) is a South Korean professional footballer who plays as a forward for Belgian club Genk and the South Korea national team.
Oh made his professional debut in K League 1 with Suwon Samsung Bluewings during the 2019 season, making eleven league appearances.[3] He spent the next two seasons on loan at military club Sangju Sangmu (renamed Gimcheon Sangmu in 2021), where he served his military service. He returned to the Bluewings in the 2022 season and was the club's top scorer with 13 league goals.[3]
On 25 January 2023, Oh joined Scottish Premiership club Celtic for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £2.5 million, signing a five-year contract.[4] [5] He was assigned the number 19 shirt.[6]
He made his debut on 29 January 2023, in a league game against Dundee United, replacing Kyogo Furuhashi in the 82nd minute of an eventual 2–0 win.[7] Then, he scored his first goal for the Bhoys on 11 February, in a 5–1 Scottish Cup win over St. Mirren.[8] Oh scored 11 goals during 36 league appearances including six starts, while usually playing as a substitute for main striker Furuhashi. However, he did not get playing time for half a year after Adam Idah came to the team on a loan deal.[9]
Oh represented South Korea at the under-17, under-20 and under-23 youth international levels.[10] He made his senior team debut on 11 November 2022 in a friendly match against Iceland.[11]
