Hyunjun Yang and Hyeongyu Oh have starred in a brilliant feature from World Cup training.
The pair spent a year as teammates at Celtic, and though both were raw at the time, they have since gone on to excel — Yang still in Scotland, and Oh in Belgium and Turkey.
South Korea’s World Cup got off to the perfect start last week, as Oh scored the winner in their 2-1 win over Czechia.
Ahead of their second game against Mexico in the early hours of Friday, they have been debating the art of crossing.
🙌 Oh continues his post-Celtic rise with a World Cup winner for South Korea!

The pair feature on the KFA’s social media channel in a clip called the “Cross controversy”.
In it, they argue about crosses from the differing perspectives of a winger and striker. Their exact arguments are hard to decipher.

On YouTube, the video is available with a creepy AI English-dubbed audio that makes them sound like Hollywood voice actors.
Oh’s winner against Czechia came from a low cross from the right flank that Yang usually occupies, though it was Inbeom Hwang on that occasion.
Sadly, Yang is yet to assist Oh for the national side, and never did it for Celtic either — though you can’t say that they aren’t trying to manifest it…
Brought to Glasgow by Ange Postecoglou in 2023, Oh never established himself as a starting striker, despite a decent scoring rate of one goal every 110 minutes.
Sold to Genk for £4.5 million after falling out of Brendan Rodgers’ plans, his value skyrocketed before his eventual move to Besiktas in January.
Yang, on the other hand, hit double figures for goals in Hoops this season, playing the most minutes of any campaign in his career.
How would you use Yang next season?
Hyeongyu Oh on his homesickness at Celtic
Oh recently reflected on his homesickness at Celtic, saying that he listened to a classic country song to help him deal with it.
“When I was at Celtic, there was a song I used to listen to quite often, especially when things got a bit tough.
“That was the song Take Me Home, Country Roads. I listened to a lot.
“It gave me some comfort, and it often made me think about how much I wanted to go home. A lot, back then.
“And here I am, on my first trip to Europe all by myself. But listening to that music has really given me a boost, so I’d love for everyone to hear that song if I ever organise a gathering or make an impact in LA!”
Asked if he still listens to it, Oh said: “I haven’t really felt like listening to it lately.”
