At age of 12, Lee caught the attention of FC Barcelona after he finished as the top scorer in the 2010 Danone Nations Cup, one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments. He joined Barcelona’s youth academy, La Masia, and scored 39 goals in 29 appearances during his first season. He was also named the best player in four youth tournaments: Torneo Canillas, Memorial Gaetano Scirea, Trofeo San Bonifacio and Gabala Cup; and was nicknamed the “Korean Messi”. However, he was banned from playing in the regular season for three years until his 18th birthday by transfer regulations of FIFA. On 13 March 2016, he made his senior debut for the B team.
Lee made his international debut as a part of South Korea under-16 team competing for the 2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualification. He scored four goals against Laos.

However, Lee missed a crucial penalty kick against Belgium in the round of 16 where they eventually lost 2–0. He shortly returned to South Korea afterwards to train with the second division side Suwon FC until January 2016, when he turned 18 and became able to participate in official matches for Barcelona again.
In May 2015, Lee was the youngest member of South Korea under-18 team that participated in the Suwon JS Cup, hosted by Park Ji-sung.

In May 2018, Lee was called for senior national side for the first time before 2018 FIFA World Cup, and was also named in South Korea’s preliminary 28-man squad. On 28 May 2018, he has played a big part in South Korea’s 2–0 victory over Honduras in Daegu Stadium.
