Yang Min-hyeok played two consecutive games as a substitute.

QPR won 2-1 in the 31st round of the 2024-2025 English Championship (2nd division) against Blanburn Rovers at Loftus Road Stadium in London, England.

Yang Min-hyeok contributed to the winning goal after being substituted. His active movement stood out. In the 31st minute of the second half, when a cross came in, Yang Min-hyeok caught the ball in the box. After a fake left-footed shot, he was caught by the defender while trying to break through, and when the ball flowed back, Jack Colback finished it with a shot, shaking the Blanburn goal net. If the goal had not been scored, Yang Min-hyeok's movement could have resulted in a penalty kick, so it was an important attacking scene. In addition, Yang Min-hyeok showed an active appearance by strongly pressuring the opponent as a right winger. QPR won by maintaining a one-goal gap.

Yang Min-hyeok had previously received huge cheers when he made his debut in England as a substitute. Yang Min-hyeok was substituted in the 31st minute of the second half of the previous match against Millwall. He stepped onto the field in place of Ilias Chair. Despite the completely different stage, Yang Min-hyeok did not hesitate. In the 33rd minute of the second half, he attempted a right-footed shot after a bold breakthrough. It was a powerful shot aimed at the top of the goal, a move that Yang Min-hyeok often showed during his K-League days. Unfortunately, the shot was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper. It was a scene where we could see Yang Min-hyeok's confidence.

The British media immediately gave him favorable reviews. London World of England said, "Yang Min-hyeok's first play was a shot that made the goalkeeper flustered. He seems like a player who will excite fans. However, he was not a game changer today." They even gave Yang Min-hyeok, who came in as a substitute in the second half, the team's highest rating of 7 points. The British public broadcaster BBC also said, "Yang Min-hyeok was a lively substitute. It was an attack that gave us a glimpse of what he can add to QPR's offense."

The coaching staff also gave him high praise. Assistant coach Xavi Kalm, who led the team in place of manager Marti Chipuentes, said, "I'm happy to have Yang Min-hyeok with us. He is a player who will provide depth in our attacks as a right winger. I asked him to try to attack more from the wing to score. I changed the build-up system from 3-1 to 4-1 and tried to create 2-on-2 situations on the wing. It wasn't easy for him to make his first appearance, but I'm sure he will help us."
