Lee Tae-seok

Lee Tae-seok (; born 28 July 2002) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a left back or left winger for Austria Wien and the South Korea national team. He is the son of South Korean footballer Lee Eul-yong.

Club career He joined FC Seoul in 2021.

He made his league debut on 7 April 2021, against Ulsan Hyundai.

On August 1, 2024, he moved from Seoul to Pohang Steelers in a trade with Kang Hyeon-mu.

International career He was part of the South Korea squad at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Lee made his debut for the senior South Korea national team on 14 November 2024 in a World Cup qualifier against Kuwait at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium. He substituted Lee Myung-jae in the 64th minute as South Korea won 3–1.

He made his first appearance for South Korea national team as a starter rather than a substitute on March 20, 2025, against Oman in the third Asian qualifying round of the North and Central American World Cup against Oman.

He started at left fullback in a World Cup qualifier against Jordan on March 26 and played the full 90 minutes, putting in a strong defensive performance, winning five of his six tackle attempts and winning all six ground ball contests.

Lee scored his first international goal on 18 November 2025 in a friendly against Ghana at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

He was called up Myung-Bo Hong to be part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup squad.

Style of play Like his father, former soccer player Lee Eul-yong, he has a precise and sharp left foot. He can play wing and left fullback, and his wide vision and left-footed kick allow him to deliver sharp long passes and crosses. Once considered a weakness, his defense and physicality have improved greatly in recent years, and in the national team game he shut down Jordanian winger Al-Taamari to perfection.
