A product of the Dinamo Minsk youth system, Korzun made his senior debut on 17 November 2012, when he came on as a stoppage-time substitute in a 2-0 away victory against FC Torpedo-BelAZ Zhodino.[1][2] Over the next 3 seasons, he went on to make 67 appearances for the club across all tournaments.[3]
On 1 February 2016, Korzun signed a 5-year contract with Ukrainian club Dynamo Kyiv.[4] However, he struggled to win a regular place in the side, and didn't make his debut until 14 May 2016 (4-1 road victory against FC Metalist Kharkiv).[5] Over the next two seasons, Korzun played sparingly, mostly as a substitute.
On 24 July 2018, it was announced that Korzun would return to Dinamo Minsk on loan, until the end of the season.[6]
In January 2019, he joined Saudi team Al-Fateh on loan until January 2020.[7]
Korzun represented Belarus at all levels of youth football. He made his senior team debut on 27 May 2016 in Belfast, in a 3-0 friendly loss to Northern Ireland.[8][9]
