Hwang Ui-jo has left Nottingham Forest to join Alanyaspor in a permanent deal.
The South Korea international has signed a one-year contract with the Turkish Super Lig club.
Alanyaspor announced the move on their social media platforms. Forest are yet to publicly acknowledge the forward’s exit.
In July the 31-year-old was charged with alleged sex offences in his home country following allegations that had already led to him being ruled out of selection for the national team.
The striker, who has 62 international caps, has been charged with secretly filming himself having sex with two women who allegedly did not know they were being recorded. It is alleged this happened four times from June to September 2022.
Hwang, who played for his country in all of their matches at the 2022 World Cup, denies any illegal activity.

He signed for Forest in a £4million transfer from Bordeaux in the summer of 2022 but did not make an appearance during his two years with the Premier League club, being an unused substitute in the matchday squad twice.
Instead he has spent time on loan at four different clubs – Olympiacos of Greece, and then FC Seoul two seasons ago, followed by time last season with Norwich City of the Championship and Alanyaspor, who he has now joined permanently.
In November, the Korean Football Association announced that he would not be considered for selection while the police investigation was ongoing. A trial date has been set for October.
