Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 36.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 40.3, Joon-Hyuck carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 (top 28%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 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.
