An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (10.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dong-Hyun.
On the season, Dong-Hyun graded 6 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.424 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26. At 29 Dong-Hyun is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 3rd of 13 · an upper-table side
3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 13) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.25 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 10.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 25.7 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
