Lee Jin-Hyun is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Ulsan Hyundai FC, rated 31.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 53rd of 148 in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (21% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.13 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Hyun.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Hyun graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 2.134 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, 20th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 28 Jin-Hyun is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 31.5, Jin-Hyun carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 26 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.13 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 28, Jin-Hyun sits on 12.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Jin-Hyun's projected Rating — 31.5 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.
