Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on You-Hyeon.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 18 → 16). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 15th of 19 of the 19 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 You-Hyeon is in his prime years, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Gangwon FC finished 3rd of 12 · an upper-table side
3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 21 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 39.1% 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 29.8, You-Hyeon carries the 15th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 19 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
