Model value (performance-implied)€609k – €1.9M
Projected value (24 months)€485k – €1.7M
Dashed line: current market value (€1.0M). Bars are 20–80% model ranges; tick = median.

The model rates Hyeok-kyu Kwon's performance-implied value at EUR 0.6M-1.9M, above the estimated acquisition range of EUR 0.4M-1.6M. Its 24-month market value projection is EUR 0.5M-1.7M. Context-adjusted goal contributions are 0.85x the positional average in the league (758 minutes, league coefficient 0.88). Confidence is low: no event-level data (xG, progressive actions) is available from the current free source, and injury history is unavailable.

Acquisition note: Contract end date unavailable: range widened by 15% each side.
