Clean sheets

4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.46 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Creativity. 0.34 assists per 90 — a genuine creative outlet.
  • Defensive volume. 4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.6% 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 38, Tae-Jun carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 48 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.1 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
