Lee Bum-young
South Korean association football player
Lee Bum-young (Korean: 이범영; born 2 April 1989) is a South Korean former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Club career
Lee signed a professional contract for Busan IPark in 2008, and played as the second-choice goalkeeper for Busan during his early career. He became Busan's first-choice goalkeeper in 2013, but he transferred to J1 League club Avispa Fukuoka after Busan was relegated to the K League 2 in 2015.
International career
Lee was selected as a reserve goalkeeper for the South Korean under-23 team for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and got opportunities after main goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong was injured in the middle of the quarter-final match against Great Britain. He saved Daniel Sturridge's penalty in the penalty shoot-out of the quarter-final match, helping South Korea reach the semi-finals. He played as a starter for the first time in the next match against Brazil after his contribution. However, he conceded three goals to Brazil, losing the semi-final match. He did not play in the subsequent bronze medal match.
Lee was included in South Korea's squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but did not play. He made his senior international debut against Uruguay on 8 September 2014.

Why this record matters
The phrase “south Korean association football player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 8, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q497633. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2008, 2013 and 2015.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
