Clean sheets

1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

Game time. Only 35% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.83 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 30.4, Dong-Jun carries the 11th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 19 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× 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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 29, Dong-Jun sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Dong-Jun's projected Rating — 30.4 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.
