Scout report
Park Cheol-Woo is a 28-year-old full-back at Gimcheon Sangmu FC, rated 31.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 61st of 123 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (45% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.82 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cheol-Woo.
Judged on this season alone, Cheol-Woo graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 13th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the K League 1, on 4 clean sheets and 2.815 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 18). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 11th of 22 of the 22 full-backs in the K League 1. At 28 Cheol-Woo is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Gimcheon Sangmu FC finished 11th of 12 · a relegation-threatened side
2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 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.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 45% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31.1, Cheol-Woo carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 22, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Gimcheon Sangmu FC finished 11th of 12) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.82 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
