Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Su.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Su graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 43 of the 43 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 2 goals, 1 assist and 1.479 defensive actions per 90.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 41, top 21% of the 43 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 26 Jin-Su is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.1 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 5th of 12 · a mid-table side
1.48 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.34 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 27.5% 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 41.2, Jin-Su carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 43 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.48 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.
