Eul-Yong Ta

Lee is well-known by most South Koreans and other Asian football fans for the famous incident which is sometimes referred as "Eul-Yong Ta (을용타)," and roughly translated as 'Eul-Yong Strike/Smash'. The incident occurred during the first tournament of the East Asian Cup in December 2003, during the match against China.
During the second half of the game, Chinese forward Li Yi kicked Lee in the shins immediately after he finished his pass. Visually upset with Li's violent play, Lee slapped Li on the back of his head. Li Yi started rolling on the pitch grabbing his head in an apparent exaggeration. For a while the entire Chinese and Korean squad ran toward the scene but further conflict did not occur, as the referee awarded a yellow card for Li (simulation) and red card for Lee (violence). Korea went on to defeat China once again; Lee became popular internet meme after the incident.
