Clean sheets

3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 31 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (5th 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 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 42% 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 31, Min-Woo carries the 19th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 (top 40%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gangwon FC finished 5th 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 solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
