In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (28% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.45 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Tae-Jun.

Judged on this season alone, Tae-Jun graded 13 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 13% of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 3.447 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 33, 14th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 27 Tae-Jun is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.2 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.45 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (11th of 12) 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.4, Tae-Jun carries the 14th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 32 — though on just 27 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.45 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.
