International career
editBefore starting his professional career, he was the first South Korean to score at the FIFA World Youth Championship. His goal came against Canada at the 1979 tournament. Afterwards, he was called the "Korean Gerd Müller" for his scoring ability. He contributed to South Korea's gold medal at the 1986 Asian Games. During the K-League match against POSCO Atoms, his right eye was injured in 1987 after Nam Ki-young hit him in Lee's face with his foot, resulting in the latter losing his sight. However, his blindness was not enough to stop his performance. He became the top goalscorer in the 1988 AFC Asian Cup and participated at the 1990 FIFA World Cup.
