Shin Kwang-Hoon is a 39-year-old full-back at Pohang Steelers, rated 6.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 146th of 148 in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.3% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.06 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kwang-Hoon.
Judged on this season alone, Kwang-Hoon graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 12th of 23 of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1, on 4 clean sheets and 2.064 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 22nd of 23 of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1. At 39 Kwang-Hoon is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 36 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 6.2, Kwang-Hoon carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pohang Steelers finished 4th of 6) — 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 (2.06 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).

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 (~4), then tapers with age. At 39, Kwang-Hoon sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Kwang-Hoon's projected Rating — 6.2 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.
