We hold a single season for Dae-Hwan, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 2, top 7% of the 16 centre-backs in the South-Korea tier 1. At 21 Dae-Hwan is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 0 reflects that trajectory.
2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (10th of 14) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 1.7, Dae-Hwan carries the 1st-highest potential of the centre-backs in the South-Korea tier 1 (top 7%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Hwaseong finished 10th of 14) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow.

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 17–37 (~0), then tapers with age. At 21, Dae-Hwan sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Dae-Hwan's projected Rating — 1.7 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.
