Lee began his senior professional career in Busan IPark when he signed a deal on 21 January 2016, returning to South Korea. There, he made 14 appearances. He made his debut for the club on 13 April 2016 in a 2–1 defeat to Seoul E-Land, and his first goal came in a 4–0 victory over Chungju on 10 July of that year.

On 27 October he scored his third goal in a 3-0 victory over See Khwae City FC. Lee transferred to the Hessenliga with SV Neuhof in 2022; however, issues with obtaining an extension for his visa meant he only played in two appearances for the club before being unable to remain in Germany any longer.

He went on to move to Spanish side CE Mataró for the 2022–23 Primera Catalana season, contributing one goal and three assists in his 20 appearances within the league before departing from the club.
