Scout report
Kim Moon-Hwan is a 31-year-old full-back at Daejeon Citizen, rated 20 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 95th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (29.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.04 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Moon-Hwan.
Judged on this season alone, Moon-Hwan graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 23 of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1, on 3 clean sheets and 2.041 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 8 → 9). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 20, 13th of 23 of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1. At 31 Moon-Hwan is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 2nd of 6 · a title-challenging side
2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 6) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 29.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, 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 20, Moon-Hwan carries the 13th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 of 23. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.04 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
