"Hong brings extensive international experience. On the pitch, he is a player capable of filling various attacking roles. He has a high work rate, is technically gifted, and can contribute both intensity and creativity to our game," says Bach Bak, adding:
"At the same time, he is humble and hardworking—qualities we value highly. We also know from Cho and Lee that he is a great person who aligns with the values we hold at FC Midtjylland."
"We believe he will be an excellent addition to our squad. That is why we are so pleased to have successfully brought him to Midtjylland."
At the international level, Hong Hyun-seok has earned 16 caps for South Korea's senior national team. Additionally, he won the Asian Games with his country in 2023, scoring three goals in the process.
