Kim Jin-Gyu is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Jeonbuk Motors, rated 30.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 62nd of 148 in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.16 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Gyu.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Gyu graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the K League 1, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances (0.313 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 5th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 Jin-Gyu is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2 goals in 35 appearances (0.06 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 4 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 30.3, Jin-Gyu carries the 5th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the K League 1 of 7. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.31 goal contributions 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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 29, Jin-Gyu sits on 11.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Jin-Gyu's projected Rating — 30.3 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.
