Who Is Lee Kang In? All About Football’s Current Bad Boy’s Life And Relationships
The current talk of the football world is the altercation between Son Heung Min and Lee Kang In and the unfortunate results of the incident.
Both players were competing as part of the South Korean national team in the 2024 Asian Cup when a scuffle broke out during a team dinner centered around Lee wanting to play table tennis. Son wanted the player to get an early rest, and a fight broke out, during which Son Heung Min’s fingers were injured.
The Korean Football Association confirmed that this occurred, with Lee Kang In apologizing after. Many believe his actions during the game ultimately led to the team’s loss in the semi-finals.
But who is Lee Kang In?
Lee was born in 2001 and appeared on the Korean program Shoot Dori at six years old, already showing a strong talent for the sport. He joined a local team before the Spanish club Valencia scouted him for the youth academy at ten years old.
His family, his mother, father, and two sisters, then relocated to Europe so Lee could attend, as he was too young to be recruited technically.
Lee debuted on Valencia B in 2017, then the main team in 2018, becoming the first Asian to do so. In 2019, he was selected to play for the South Korea U-20 team during the 2019 Fifa U-20 World Cup, and then, in 2022, he was on the 2022 FIFA World Cup team.
He currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and the South Korean National team.
In his personal life, the footballer was linked to former April member and current actress Nauen in 2024, with The Fact reporting the two had been dating since 2023. The report alleged they had dates at her house or the national team’s dorms.
Nauen’s agency denied the claim, though netizens continued finding evidence.
