Clean sheets

5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25.1, Jin-Seop carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 31. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.21 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
