Clean sheets

0.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.1, Jun-Soo carries the 6th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 28 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.84 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~10), then tapers with age. At 24, Jun-Soo sits on 10.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Jun-Soo's projected Rating — 41.1 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.
