Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Joon-Hyuck.
Judged on this season alone, Joon-Hyuck graded 17 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1, on 4 clean sheets and 4.096 defensive actions per 90.
We hold a single season for Joon-Hyuck, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, top 22% of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1. At 26 Joon-Hyuck is in his prime years, and a market index of 24.5 reflects that trajectory.
4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th of 6) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 36, Joon-Hyuck carries the 5th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

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 (~25), then tapers with age. At 26, Joon-Hyuck sits on 24.5, at or near its peak. The blue line is Joon-Hyuck's projected Rating — 36 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.
