On long-term talent our Rating reads 47, top 4% of the 27 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 22 Sang-Yoon is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Jeonbuk Motors finished 1st of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 34% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

With a Rating of 47.1, Sang-Yoon carries the 1st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 4%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.01 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
