Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

Jung Seung-Hyun is a 32-year-old central defender at Ulsan Hyundai FC, rated 16 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 115th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Seung-Hyun.

Judged on this season alone, Seung-Hyun graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 21st of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.2 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 10). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 16, 23rd of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 32 Seung-Hyun is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16, Seung-Hyun carries the 23rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 31 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
