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

Judged on this season alone, Dong-Jun graded 22 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 9% of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 6 goals, 2 assists and 1.405 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 22). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 25th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 Dong-Jun is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.9 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 6 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.8 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 26.2% 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, Dong-Jun carries the 25th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 33 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.41 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
