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

Judged on this season alone, Seung-Wook graded 20 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 9% of the 23 full-backs in the K League 1, on 5 clean sheets and 2.851 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 20). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.

Clean sheets

2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (4th of 6) 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 47.5% 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 28.7, Seung-Wook carries the 7th-highest potential of the full-backs in the K League 1 (top 31%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Pohang Steelers finished 4th of 6) — 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 (2.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
