Small and slight in appearance, Yoon remains a tough presence at the heart of the Korean midfield.
A veteran of the 1996 Olympic side in Atlanta and one of his country's stars in the 2000 Asian Cup, the 29-year-old produces much of his side's attacking potential.
Always a bright and vibrant presence on the pitch, he has a strong awareness of the players around him.
It remains to be seen whether he or Song Shong-Gug is elected as his side's chief playmaker.
