In the history of the [[FIFA World Cup]], he was the first player to be blind in one eye.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.ole.com.ar/fuera-de-juego/30-anos-record-increible-mundiales_0_kwg232l5E.html |title=A 30 años de un récord increíble en los Mundiales |publisher=Olé |language=es |date=2020-06-12 |access-date=2022-05-02 |archive-date=2 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220502164646/https://www.ole.com.ar/fuera-de-juego/30-anos-record-increible-mundiales_0_kwg232l5E.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

==International career==
Before starting his professional career, he was the first South Korean to score at the [[FIFA U-20 World Cup|FIFA World Youth Championship]]. His goal came against [[Canada national under-20 football team|Canada]] at the [[1979 FIFA World Youth Championship|1979 tournament]]. Afterwards, he was called the "Korean [[Gerd Müller]]" for his scoring ability. He contributed to South Korea's gold medal at the [[Football at the 1986 Asian Games|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]].
