Outlook

With a Rating of 11.5, Young-Chan carries the 22nd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the K League 1 of 30 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).

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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 33, Young-Chan sits on 1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Young-Chan's projected Rating — 11.5 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.
