*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Lee started playing as goalkeeper in 5th grade because he thought that "saving while falling looked cool".[1]
In high school, Lee was regarded as a better goalkeeper than future international Kim Seung-gyu, winning Most Valuable Player at the 2008 High School Challenge and giving the trophy to his dying father in the hospital.[2] However, he later envied Kim, who played in the 2014 World Cup, and contemplated quitting football while playing for Ulsan Hyundai's reserves.[1]
On the 17th of June 2015, Lee started against Jeonbuk Hyundai in his first league appearances that season. In the 37th minute, he struck his head against striker Lee Dong-gook's knee, causing a broken temple. The injury was life threatening, but he eventually recovered with the support of his girlfriend.[3]
