Scout report
Kang Yun-Sung is a 29-year-old central defender at Daejeon Citizen, rated 26 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 85th of 123 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (31.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.65 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yun-Sung.
Judged on this season alone, Yun-Sung graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 2 clean sheets and 3.653 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 16th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 29 Yun-Sung is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 23 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) 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.
Strengths
- Defensive volume. 3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 31.1% 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 26, Yun-Sung carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 28 — though on just 23 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.65 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
