His highest placement at an ISU Championship was 8th at the 1997 World Junior Championships. He is the brother of speed skater Lee Kyou-hyuk.

In January 2023, Lee was sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty molesting and attempting to rape one of his 18-year old students he had been coaching as well as illegally filming the crime that had taken place the previous year. The court also banned Lee from working at child-related facilities for 10 years and to undergo 50 hours of a child abuse treatment program.[1]
