Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hyun-Taek.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, top 14% of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1. At 25 Hyun-Taek is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.3 reflects that trajectory.

Output in context · Ulsan Hyundai FC finished 3rd of 6 · a mid-table side
2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 22.8% 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 42, Hyun-Taek carries the 3rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23 — though on just 29 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
