Outlook

With a Rating of 37.3, Joon-Hong carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Major League Soccer of 67 — though on just 8 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 23, Joon-Hong sits on 19.4, at or near its peak. The blue line is Joon-Hong's projected Rating — 37.3 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.
