1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 15 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 15) 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 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 1.5, Yong-Hyeon carries the 4th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the South-Korea tier 1 (top 25%). Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. 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 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 26, Yong-Hyeon sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Yong-Hyeon's projected Rating — 1.5 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.
