Playing career
Suwon Samsung Bluewings F.C
He moved to Suwon from Kyunghee University, making his debut for the K-League club in 1996. He made over 100 appearances during his first spell with the club before moving to Sangmu which is the sports division of the Military of South Korea while serving his mandatory two-year period of military service. He returned to Suwon in 2002 and has remained at the club since then, amassing over 200 league appearances for the club in total.
International career
Lee has been a member of the Korea Republic national football team since the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Even though he is well into his years, he still started for South Korea at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, ahead of younger high-profile goalkeepers such as Kim Young Kwang. He captained the side at the 2007 Asian Cup in place of the injured Kim Nam-Il.
Lee is well-known for saving vital penalties during international competitions. In the 2002 World Cup, he made football history during the quarter-final between Spain and South Korea, which ended in a draw and went to penalties. After both sides scored their first three penalties, Korea scored its fourth goal, and Lee blocked Spain's fourth shot, taken by the 21-year old winger Joaquín. Korea scored its fifth penalty and went on to the semi-finals against Germany. In addition, he saved a total of three shootout penalties during the 2007 Asian Cup, two against Iran and one against Japan (they would win both matches and finish third overall).
