Mini bio
From Incheon to the World Cup.
Born in Incheon, Lee played at Bupyeong High School and Korea University before joining Ulsan in 2002. That year brought a K League Rookie of the Year award and a place in South Korea’s World Cup semifinal team.
A career beyond Korea.
He joined Real Sociedad in 2003, becoming the first South Korean player to sign for a Spanish top-flight club. Back at Ulsan, he helped win the 2005 league championship and earned the league’s MVP award. His free kick against Togo at the 2006 World Cup remains a memorable moment from his international career. He finished his playing career at Incheon United in 2015.
Finding his voice online.
Lee launched Richunsu in April 2021. Football analysis sits alongside conversations with fellow players, refereeing content and stories from his own career. His emotional reaction to South Korea reaching the round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup helped the channel reach a wider audience.
Football and family.
His channel introduces him as a former international, broadcaster, YouTuber and father of three. Television viewers also know him from Mr. House Husband 2, the family reality series for which he received an Entertainer of the Year award at the 2023 KBS Entertainment Awards.
