Judged on this season alone, Chang-Min graded 16 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.492 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 5 → 16). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 42nd of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 32 Chang-Min is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.49 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 28.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 16.9, Chang-Min carries the 42nd-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.49 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 (0.8× and falling).
