Outlook

With a Rating of 34.3, Dong-Gyeong carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the K League 1 of 4 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.67 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~8), then tapers with age. At 28, Dong-Gyeong sits on 5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dong-Gyeong's projected Rating — 34.3 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
