“I am happy to be called back to Gangwon,” he told his new club’s official media. “I'm excited to be on a team that plays good football, and I want to adapt to the direction that the coach and the coaching staff want and be a part of the team.”

Yun is joining a Gangwon side that finished second in the 2024 K League standings, eight points behind Ulsan and who will feature in next season’s AFC Champions League Elite.

The winger started his career at Gyeongnam FC in 2011 before joining FC Seoul two years later and he was a member of the side that reached the final of the AFC Champions League™ in his debut campaign.

He won the K League title in 2016 with FC Seoul before spells in Japan, with Yokohama F Marinos, and Montpellier in France. Yun then joined Ulsan in 2021.

Yun made his Korea Republic debut in 2013 and was part of the country’s Asian Games gold medal-winning side at under 23 level the following year.
