Outlook

With a Rating of 23.1, Chan-Yong carries the 12th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23 — though on just 30 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~6), then tapers with age. At 30, Chan-Yong sits on 2.8, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Chan-Yong's projected Rating — 23.1 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.
