Move to Germany

In January 2022, Lee joined German giants Bayern Munich from Pohang Steelers on a year-long loan deal, with the option to make the deal permanent.[3] After impressing with the club's reserve team while on loan, Bayern Munich took up the option to make the deal permanent in August 2022, with Lee signing a deal through 2025.[4][5]

On 7 July 2023, he was loaned to recently promoted 2. Bundesliga club SV Wehen Wiesbaden for the 2023–24 season.[6]

International career

Lee has represented South Korea at various youth levels.[1][2][7] He was called up to the South Korea Olympic team in September 2022, in preparation for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[8]

Personal life

Lee has named Joshua Kimmich as a player he idolises, while also crediting Jamal Musiala as a similarly-aged player he looks up to.[3][9]
