In the 1970 FIFA World Cup qualification, Lee showed poor performance and couldn't prevent South Korea's elimination.[11] However, Lee proved his worth again as an important playmaker in the 1969 King's Cup after the failure in the World Cup qualification. He assisted three winning goals against Laos,[12] Malaysia,[13] and Indonesia,[14] leading South Korea to the title.

On 2 June 1972, South Korea had a friendly match with Santos, for which Pelé was playing. Lee scored a goal, but South Korea lost 3–2.[26]
