Early career
Lee made his professional debut in June 2009, securing a decision victory over Chung Woo Chee. Over the next period, he amassed a 7-2 record, highlighted by a significant triumph against Genji Umeno. This performance earned him a shot at the WKN Intercontinental Lightweight belt against Samuel Hadzima at Simply The Best 6, where Lee emerged victorious by decision.
RISE Super Featherweight title reign
Following his acquisition of the WKN title, Lee won five out of eight subsequent bouts before joining RISE in 2017. His RISE debut featured a knockout win in the second round over Yuki at RISE 118. He then claimed the RISE Super Featherweight championship by unanimous decision against Koudai Nobe. Lee’s winning streak was halted by Hideki at RISE 122, where he lost via decision.
Lee bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over Hikaru Machida at RISE 125 and recorded stoppage wins against both Machida and Yosuke Morii. He secured another unanimous decision win against Yuki at Rise World Series 2019. During KNOCK OUT 2019 SPRING, Lee challenged Yodlekpet Or.

Later that year, he suffered losses to Genji Umeno in the semifinals of the 2019 RISE World Series as well as defeats against Kento Haraguchi and Suakim PK Saenchaimuaythaigym.
After a three-year break from competition, Lee successfully defended his RISE Super Featherweight crown against interim champion Kazuma at RISE 160 on July 29, 2022, winning by technical knockout in the fourth round despite being knocked down early. On October 15, 2022, he achieved a second-round TKO over #3 ranked RISE lightweight contender Kan Nakamura at RISE World Series 2022.
In his second defense of the title on January 28, 2023, at RISE 164, Lee retained his belt against leading challenger Hyuma Hitachi, prevailing through a unanimous decision following an extra sixth round after a majority draw. On July 2, 2023, he scored a first-round knockout over Yuma Yamaguchi in a lightweight open finger glove match during RISE World Series 2023 - 1st Round.
