Judged on this season alone, Min-Gyu graded 13 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 19 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.933 defensive actions per 90.

  • Game time. Only 30% 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 35.7, Min-Gyu carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 19 — though on just 21 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.93 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.
