Scout report

Squad depthCentral midfielder

Choi Jun is a 27-year-old central midfielder at FC Seoul, rated 32.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 48th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jun.

Judged on this season alone, Jun graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 26th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.501 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 12). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 32% of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 27 Jun is in his prime years, and a market index of 7.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (6th 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. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 33.1% 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 32.4, Jun carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 32%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Seoul finished 6th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.5 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.
