Clean sheets

1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (13th of 15) 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 50.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Defensive numbers. Modest 1.77 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 1.5 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.77 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Market valueRating

At 23, Tae-Hwan sits on 0, at or near its peak. The blue line is Tae-Hwan's projected Rating — 1.5 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.
