Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 6). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 5. At 39 Kwang-Hoon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Pohang Steelers finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 4.9 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.05 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
