Scout report
Kim Young-Bin is a 34-year-old central defender at Jeonbuk Motors, rated 10.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 140th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (22.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.59 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Young-Bin.
Judged on this season alone, Young-Bin graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.588 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 11 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 30th of 31 of the 31 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 34 Young-Bin is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.2 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Jeonbuk Motors finished 1st of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) 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 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 10.1, Young-Bin carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 31 — though on just 28 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.59 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
