Former footballer Lee Dong-gook's son "Daebaki" Lee Si-an was selected as one of the final 12 players for a youth soccer project.
On the 15th, the official account of the large-scale youth project 'nova_korea12', organized by Punkbizm and the Ansan City Football Association, released the list of the 12 final selections.
Earlier, Punkbizm and the Ansan City Football Association held the Korean youth representative overseas project selection through the '2026 Punkbizm Cup Ansan City Football Association President's Cup national youth soccer tournament.' Legendary former Brazil national team members participated directly as advisor judges in this selection, and the final selected youth squad will have the opportunity to interact directly with youth teams from football powerhouses such as Brazil, Portugal and England.
Meanwhile, Lee Si-an, who is well known as Lee Dong-gook's son, made it into the final 12. Si-an inherited his father's football DNA and joined a youth soccer team in 2024, after which he led his team to victory in various youth soccer tournaments.
The organizers of the selection said, "The eighth player to be announced is Yeonsu District Office's player Lee Si-an. Si-an has good finishing ability and good link-up play! We look forward to seeing if he will succeed in Brazil," praising Si-an's skills. Many football fans are sending congratulations and support to Si-an, saying, "May he become a bigger player than his father."
Meanwhile, Lee Dong-gook married former Miss Korea Hawaii Lee Su-jin in 2005 and has one son and four daughters. They gained much love after appearing on KBS2's Superman Returns.
