Outlook

With a Rating of 30, Cheol-Woo carries the 6th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23 — though on just 19 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

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 (~7), then tapers with age. At 28, Cheol-Woo sits on 4.4, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cheol-Woo's projected Rating — 30 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.
