VfB Stuttgart and KRC Genk initially agreed on a transfer fee of 25 million euros for Hyeon-gyu Oh. After medical tests, Stuttgart had concerns about Oh's knee due to a previous cruciate ligament injury from nine years ago. Stuttgart tried to reduce the price to 20 million euros post-medical check. Genk refused and withdrew from the negotiations. Genk mocked Stuttgart on social media after the failed transfer.

According to a report from Bild, the planned transfer of Hyeon-gyu Oh to VfB Stuttgart from KRC Genk fell through. The move was set to happen on deadline day, and Oh had already arrived in Stuttgart. However, the deal collapsed because the player did not pass his medical examination. An old cruciate ligament injury from nine years ago was deemed more serious by Stuttgart than they had initially assessed, and the club decided against taking the risk. Oh expressed his disappointment, declaring he was physically and mentally prepared and had never experienced knee pain or problems in his career. Stuttgart clarified that his current fitness was not in doubt, but the decision was made for financial and risk-related reasons. The failed transfer was a subject of discussion on social media, where Genk posted on Instagram mocking Stuttgart.

KRC Genk was on the verge of receiving a substantial 28 million for Hyeon-gyu Oh's transfer to VfB Stuttgart. However, the transfer was unexpectedly canceled as Oh failed the medical examination conducted by Stuttgart. Despite the medical issue, Stuttgart wanted to renegotiate the terms, but KRC Genk refused to offer a discount, leading to the cancellation of the deal. Oh was initially kept on the bench during a match against Zulte Waregem to avoid any risks, and he had already bid farewell to the fans. However, the deal has now fallen through, and Oh remains with KRC Genk.
