Club career

Lee signed a professional contract for Busan IPark in 2008, and played as the second-choice goalkeeper for Busan during his early career.[2] He became Busan's first-choice goalkeeper in 2013, but he transferred to J1 League club Avispa Fukuoka after Busan was relegated to the K League 2 in 2015.[3]

International career

Lee was selected as a reserve goalkeeper for the South Korean under-23 team for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and got opportunities after main goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong was injured in the middle of the quarter-final match against Great Britain.[4] He saved Daniel Sturridge's penalty in the penalty shoot-out of the quarter-final match, helping South Korea reach the semi-finals.[4] He played as a starter for the first time in the next match against Brazil after his contribution.[4] However, he conceded three goals to Brazil, losing the semi-final match.[4] He did not play in the subsequent bronze medal match.[4]

Lee was included in South Korea's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but did not play. He made his senior international debut against Uruguay on 8 September 2014.

Personal life

Lee's younger brother Lee Bum-soo is also a goalkeeper.

Lee played as a goalkeeper for South Korea in the 2025 Kings World Cup Nations, an international seven-a-side football tournament.[5]
