On long-term scout potential he's rated 12.7, ranking 114th of 123 in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member (30.5% of available minutes).

Judged on this season alone, Min-Gwang graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 14th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.148 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 22 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 24th of 28 of the 28 centre-backs in the K League 1. At 33 Min-Gwang is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.8 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Pohang Steelers finished 6th of 12 · a mid-table side
2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.7, Min-Gwang carries the 24th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 28 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.15 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
