Kim Min-su has got people talking after Rangers beat Aberdeen on Sunday.

Derek McInnes handed the South Korea international an immediate debut at Pittodrie after completing an £8.5million move from Girona.

The 20-year-old was highly-rated in Spain and travelling supporters saw just why during the Light Blues' 1-0 victory.

Kim's performance at Pittodrie has reverberated in South Korea.

Fans in G51 believe the Glaswegian outfit have a gem on their hands and his national team prospects will surely only improve from here on out.

While the versatile attacker is yet to play for South Korea's senior team, that day may not be far away.

Why Kim Min-su is now trending in South Korea

Kim was one of Rangers' best players on the pitch against Aberdeen.

Not only did the young forward catch the attention of many Gers supporters, but he also became a trending topic in South Korea.

Writing on X, Joel Kim, who extensively covers the South Korean national team, said, "Over in Seoul, heads are turning after Kim Min-su's impressive Rangers debut."

Some of the top stories in Korean media after the Aberdeen game were about the former Girona ace.

The Glaswegian outfit have made a significant investment in Kim and will hope he can continue to have a big impact at Ibrox for the foreseeable future.

Kim Min-su game in numbers in Rangers win

Kim has had an impressive start to life at Rangers, being at the heart of their attack after featuring in the number 10 role.

Djeidi Gassama and Findlay Curtis started out wide at Pittodrie, with Lawrence Shankland leading the line.

The South Korean ace was at the centre of most of what the Gers created, completing 17 of his 18 passes in the opposition half and recording two key passes, as per Sofascore.

Kim took four shots against Aberdeen, with three of them on target, and recorded an xG of 0.66.

The former Girona forward had 44 touches in the game and completed three of his five dribbles.

On the evidence of the youngster's debut, the Glaswegian outfit may have struck a bargain with his signing.
