Kim Tae-Hwan is a 36-year-old full-back at Jeonbuk Motors, rated 12.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 130th of 148 in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tae-Hwan.
Judged on this season alone, Tae-Hwan graded 16 — a solid campaign that ranks top 31% of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 2.201 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 16). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 12, 19th of 23 of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1. At 36 Tae-Hwan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st of 6) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 12.1, Tae-Hwan carries the 19th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~8), then tapers with age. At 36, Tae-Hwan sits on 2.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Tae-Hwan's projected Rating — 12.1 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.
