Outlook

With a Rating of 38, Tae-Jun carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~26), then tapers with age. At 27, Tae-Jun sits on 25.8, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tae-Jun's projected Rating — 38 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.
