Yang Hyun-jun (; born 25 May 2002) is a South Korean footballer who plays for club Celtic and the South Korea national team.
Yang joined Gangwon FC just after graduating from high school in 2021.[2] He was evaluated as the best K League talent by winning four Young Player of the Month awards and the Young Player of the Year award in his second professional season.[3] He attracted Koreans with his dribbling skills during the season, especially in the K League All-Star Game against Tottenham Hotspur.[4]
On 15 July 2023, Gangwon FC announced that Yang would be transferring to Scottish Premiership club Celtic.[5] On 24 July, Celtic announced that Yang had signed on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[6] Yang made his Celtic debut in a 4–2 victory over Ross County on 5 August. He also made his UEFA Champions League debut as a starter in a 2–1 defeat to Lazio on 4 October. He scored his first goal for Celtic in a 6–0 victory over Aberdeen on 12 November.
Yang was selected for the South Korean national team for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, playing two matches as a substitute.
