Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Bong-Soo.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 12 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 15% of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 26 Bong-Soo is in his prime years, and a market index of 28.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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.
With a Rating of 41.4, Bong-Soo carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 15%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.83 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.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~28), then tapers with age. At 26, Bong-Soo sits on 28.2, at or near its peak. The blue line is Bong-Soo's projected Rating — 41.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
