In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (44.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.64 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jeong-Won.
Judged on this season alone, Jeong-Won graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 0 goals, 0 assists and 2.637 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 10). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, top 30% of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 27 Jeong-Won is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.7 reflects that trajectory.
Jeong-Won is operating at his career peak — the 2024/25 level is the level.
Output in context · Pohang Steelers finished 4th of 6 · a relegation-threatened side
2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 44.9% 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 35.5, Jeong-Won carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 30%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pohang Steelers finished 4th of 6) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.64 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
