Lee Woo-Hyeok (; born 27 February 1993) is a South Korean footballer who plays as a midfielder for K4 League club Pyeongchang United.

Club career

After graduating high school, Lee joined Gangwon FC as an 18-year-old. He appeared in seven league games in his debut season. He spent most of the 2013 season on the bench, but after his team was relegated to the K League Challenge in 2014, he was given more opportunities. Based on his good performances in the K League Challenge, he returned to the K League Classic by joining Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors ahead of the 2016 season. He was part of the team winning the 2016 AFC Champions League.[2]

However, Lee failed to make an impact at Jeonbuk and moved to Gwangju FC alongside team-mate Lee Han-do for the 2017 season.[3] He returned to good form with Gwangju and played a major role, which, however, could not prevent the team from relegating.

Lee moved to Incheon United ahead of the 2018 season.[4]

He moved to Gyeongnam FC in K League 2 ahead of the 2021 season.[5] He made his competitive debut for the club on 27 February 2021, the first matchday of the season, coming on as a late substitute for Chang Hyuk-jin in a 2–1 home loss to FC Anyang.[6]

In 2023, he joined K4 League club Pyeongchang United where he played during military service.

Personal life

His brother-in-law is Bae Hyo-sung, who was his team-mate at Gangwon FC.[7]
