International career edit
Lee Se-yeon is regarded as one of the greatest South Korean goalkeepers of the 20th century.[3] He conceded 55 goals in 81 caps, and won nine Asian titles including the 1970 Asian Games with South Korea national team.[4]
South Korea had fierce atmosphere when playing with Japan at the time, because it hadn't been long since Korea had gained independence from Japan. Lee also had a strong sense of the rivalry against Japan.[5] A clash between Lee and Kunishige Kamamoto attracted attention for a while in South Korea.[6] South Korea recorded five wins, three draws and one loss in nine games against Japan while he played for the national team.[4]
Style of play edit
Lee was strong on aerial duels by learning artistic gymnastics, although he had short height.[6]
