Club career

[edit]

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors

[edit]

Lee joined Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in 2014 and made his debut in the 2014 AFC Champions League match against Yokohama F. Marinos on 26 February.[5] Choi Kang-hee, the manager of Jeonbuk at the time, praised his ability which kept balance about attack and defense of team, and actively used him, the newcomer.[6]

In 2016, he spent his best season by providing 17 assists during a year and winning the 2016 AFC Champions League.[7]

In the 2017 K League 1, he won the Most Valuable Player award after having eight goals and ten assists during 28 appearances.[7][8]

Holstein Kiel

[edit]

In July 2018, Lee joined 2. Bundesliga club Holstein Kiel on a three-year deal until 30 June 2021.[9] The transfer fee paid to Jeonbuk was reported as €1.5 million.[10] He played his first game against Hamburger SV on 4 August, and was named the player of the matchday by leaving a deep impression on kicker with two assists.[11]

After the end of the 2019–20 season, his goal against Karlsruher SC was selected as Kiel's Goal of the Season.[12]

On 13 January 2021, he played full time and scored the fourth penalty in a 2020–21 DFB-Pokal match, where Kiel won 6–5 on penalties after drawing 2–2 against Bayern Munich.[13] Afterwards, Kiel reached the semi-finals of DFB-Pokal for the first time in history, but they were eliminated by Borussia Dortmund.[14]

Kiel also finished third in the 2020–21 2. Bundesliga, qualifying for the promotion play-off. In the two-legged play-off, Lee scored a goal and provided an assist, contributing to all two of Kiel's goals, but they lost 5–2 on aggregate to Köln.[15][16]

Mainz 05

[edit]

In July 2021, Lee joined Bundesliga club Mainz 05 on a three-year deal until 30 June 2024.[17]

After the first half of the 2021–22 season, Lee was ranked 10th in attacking midfielder rankings of kicker.[18]

Lee was named the player of the 22nd matchweek by kicker after dominating Borussia Mönchengladbach including a goal and an assist on 24 February 2023.[19] In that month, he was nominated for the Bundesliga Player of the Month by leading Mainz to three Bundesliga victories as well as having three goals and two assists,[20] but lost to Julian Brandt. He was also nominated for the Bundesliga Team of the Season because of his steady performance during the 2022–23 season, but failed to win.[21]

Lee seemed lethargic while Mainz earned only one win in the first half of the 2023–24 season, but he played a key role in saving his team from relegation during the second half of the season. He was named in Bundesliga player rankings selected by kicker for the third time.[22]

International career

[edit]

In the 2017 EAFF Championship, Lee led South Korea's title, and was named the Most Valuable Player and the Best Duel Player.[23]

Lee was named in South Korea's squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup,[24] and played all three games in the group stage. He also participated in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, helping South Korea advance to the knockout stage.
