On the day he boarded the flight to London to join Tottenham, Yang Min-hyeok, who couldn't sleep due to nervousness, started his day by watching Tottenham's match.

[Yang Min-hyeok/Tottenham: "I couldn't sleep well, so I watched the Tottenham game. (Son Heung-min) is such a great player, so I thought it was natural for him to perform well."]

Leaving behind a dazzling year as the best super rookie in the K League, he is now in the position of a challenger aiming to secure a starting spot again, but the determination of this 18-year-old high school student is exceptional.

[Yang Min-hyeok/Tottenham: "I think I'm a bit smaller and a bit more agile, so I feel more confident in my burst of speed. I want to go quickly and show my skills and play together."]

It's time to showcase the English conversation skills he has developed through tutoring.

Yang Min-hyeok has also prepared a self-introduction to share with his Tottenham teammates.

[Yang Min-hyeok/Tottenham: "Hello, my name is Min-hyeok Yang. It's an honor to be here. Nice to meet you."]

Yang Min-hyeok, the 16th and youngest Korean Premier League player in history, is stepping onto his dream stage.

Standing at the starting line of a new journey, he dreams of roaming the field with his senior Son Heung-min as the 'Korean duo'.

[Yang Min-hyeok/Tottenham: "I'm going to Tottenham where Hyung-min is, so I hope he will take good care of me. I will learn a lot from him and work hard."]
