During her junior years, Lee was the gold medalists at the 2011 and 2012 BWF World Junior Championships, and also at the 2012 Asian Junior Championships.[12] She represented Konkuk University and competed at the Summer Universiade, helped the Korean team clinching the gold medal in the team event in 2013 and 2015, and also won the gold in women's doubles with partner Shin Seung-chan in 2015.[13]

Career

Early career

Lee So-hee was born on 14 June 1994, in Ulsan, South Korea. Growing up, she was an energetic child who was exposed to a wide range of sports from an early age. As time went on, her teacher began to notice her talent and encouraged her to try badminton.[14] From her very first attempts, young Lee showed clear potential, quickly taking to the sport. Badminton became the perfect outlet for her energy, and before long, she was competing seriously. She made her debut on the competitive stage at the 2010 Korea Open Super Series, partnering with Choi Hye-in in the women's doubles. Though unseeded, the pair exceeded expectations by reaching the quarter-finals, where they were eventually defeated by the experienced duo of Ha Jung-eun and Lee Kyung-won.[15] Lee competed at the 2010 BWF World Junior Championships, where she won the silver medal in the team event and a bronze in the girls' doubles with Choi.[16]

2011–2012: Asian and World Junior champions

Lee made her first major mark on the international stage by winning the gold medal at the World Junior Championships in the girls' doubles with Shin Seung-chan.[17] This victory marked the beginning of their junior-level dominance as they topped the World junior ranking, which led Korean media to highlight her as a "future pillar" of the national women's doubles.[18] Her potential was recognized early by the Korean national team, leading to her official induction into the senior national team at just 17 years old.[14] On the international circuit, she reached the final in the mixed doubles and semi-final in the women's doubles at the Turkey International.[19]

Continuing her partnership with Shin Seung-chan in 2012, Lee successfully defended her World Junior Championships title and added an Asian Junior Championships gold to her collection.[20][21] Lee and Shin also won the Iceland and India International,[22][23] as well being finalist in the Korea Grapnd Prix Gold.[24] She was then honored with the Gyeonggi-do Sports Award for her contribution to regional sporting pride.[25]

2013–2014: World championships bronze medalist

Lee So-hee officially transitioned from a junior career to the senior international stage, immediately establishing herself as a cornerstone of the South Korean national team. She began 2013 by signing with the Daegyo Noonnoppi professional team in February.[26] Representing Konkuk University, she also competed at the Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia, where she secured a bronze medal in women's doubles with her long-time partner Shin Seung-chan and contributed to Korea's success in the mixed team event.[27] She also reached the finals in the Swiss and Chinese Taipei Open Grand Prix Gold, but lost to Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na in both occasion.[28][29]

In 2014, Lee and partner Shin Seung-chan secured a bronze medal at the World Championships.[30] Beyond the championship majors, Lee displayed her versatility by winning the Canada Open with partner Choi Hye-in,[31] and capping the year with a victory at the Korea Grand Prix with Shin.[32]

2015–2016: Universiade gold

In early 2015, Lee signed a sponsorship deal with the Incheon International Airport Skymons team.[33] She competed in the Gwangju Summer Universiade, where she captured two gold medals: first by leading South Korea to a victory in the mixed team event, and subsequently by winning the women's doubles title alongside Shin Seung-chan after defeating China's Ou Dongni and Yu Xiaohan in a 21–16, 21–13.[13][34] She also helping Korea secure a bronze medal at the Sudirman Cup in Dongguan.[35] In preparation for 2016 Summer Olympics, Badminton Korea Association decided to separate Lee and Shin.[36] Lee was paired with senior teammate Chang Ye-na, and the duo went on to win a title in the Korea Masters. This title also marks Lee's first Grand Prix Gold title.[37] Besides that, the duo also finished runners-up in the Korea Open,[38] Thailand Open,[39] and the U.S. Grand Prix.[40]

In 2016, Lee focused on the women's doubles, primarily partnering Chang Ye-na. The duo enjoyed a successful year on the international circuit, notably capturing the China Open title after defeating Huang Dongping and Li Yinhui in the final.[41] They also reached the finals of the French Open and the New Zealand Open,[42][43] and secured a bronze medal at the Asian Championships in Wuhan.[44] A major highlight of her year was making her Olympic debut at the 2016 Rio Games;[45] however, Lee and Chang were eliminated in the quarter-finals.[46]

2017–2018: All England title

Lee achievements in 2017 began by winning the 2017 All England Open with Chang Ye-na.[47] The duo demonstrated remarkable endurance, securing a bronze medal at the Asian Championships in Wuhan,[3] and reaching the finals of Superseries events including the Indonesia Open and her home tournament, the Korea Open.[48][49] Together with the national team, she secured a silver medal at the Asia Mixed Team Championships in Ho Chi Minh City when the team fell 0–3 to Japan,[50] and later played in the quarter-finals of the Sudirman Cup,[51] and South Korea reclaiming the world mixed team title by defeating China in the final.[10] Mid-season, a strategic reunification with Shin Seung-chan yielded immediate victory at the U.S. Open,[52] and a historic run in Europe, winning their first ever Superseries title as a pair in the Denmark Open and reaching the French Open final.[53][54] She also won the Korea Masters in Gwangju.[55] For these extraordinary efforts, including reaching the finals of the China Open with Kim Hye-rin,[56] she was honored as the Best Player of the Year by the Badminton Korea Association.[57]

In 2018, Lee overcame early-season setbacks, including a nagging injury, to finish the year as one of the most dominant forces in women's doubles alongside her partner Shin Seung-chan. Their season reached a brilliant peak in November at the Fuzhou China Open, where they broke Japan's long-standing dominance by defeating both the reigning Olympic champions and the 2018 World Champions, Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara, in a straight-game final.[58] This victory was a vital turning point for South Korean badminton following a medal-less run at the 2018 Jakarta–Palembang Asian Games,[58] where Lee had competed but faced an early exit.[59][60] Lee maintained this elite momentum through the end of the year, securing a runner-up at the Hong Kong Open,[61] Korea Masters,[62] and at the BWF World Tour Finals in Guangzhou.[63]

2019–2022: Tour Finals title; World Championships silver; and Uber Cup champion

In 2019, Lee re-established herself as a dominant force in the women's doubles, overcoming early-season injury concerns to achieve remarkable consistency with partner Shin. After recovering from the appendicitis surgery and thigh muscle tears, she made a comeback in the Basel World Championships, reaching the quarter-finals.[64] The highlight of her year came in October at the French Open, where she captured the title after an intense all-Korean final against Kim So-yeong and Kong Hee-yong, winning 16–21, 21–19, 21–12. This victory marked her first major title in nearly a year and signaled a full return to form.[65] Beyond this triumph, Lee demonstrated elite level play by reaching the finals of several high-stakes tournaments, including the Korea Open,[66] and the Fuzhou China Open.[67] Lee concluded the season at the BWF World Tour Finals in Guangzhou, where she finished as a semi-finalist, solidifying her year-end standing among the world's top five pairs.[68]

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic-shortened season, Lee began the 2020 season with a strong run to the semi-finals of the All England Open, shortly before the international circuit was suspended.[69] Upon the sport's return in early 2021, Lee reached her peak form in the "Bangkok Leg," where Lee and Shin finished runner-up in the Toyota Thailand Open to Kim So-yeong and Kong Hee-yong,[70] and a week later beating Kim and Kong to captured her first-ever BWF World Tour Finals title.[71] This momentum carried into the late 2021 European leg, where she secured a runner-up finish at the Denmark Open before successfully retaining her French Open title.[72][73] Despite a bittersweet fourth-place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics that held in mid 2021,[74] Lee ended the season on a high note by securing a silver medal at the BWF World Championships in Huelva, Spain.[2]

In 2022, Lee experienced a milestone defined by high-stakes team success and a significant transition in her professional partnership. A crowning achievement occurred in May at the Uber Cup in Bangkok, where Lee played a role in South Korea's dramatic 3–2 victory over China to claim the world team title; Lee and Shin secured a crucial point in the final by defeating the world number 1 pair, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan.[11] Latter half of 2022 marked a major turning point as her long-standing partnership with Shin Seung-chan was restructured by the national coaching staff. Lee began a high-profile experimental pairing with Baek Ha-na, which yielded immediate international success; in their very first tournament together, they reached the final of the Denmark Open, signaling the start of a new elite chapter in Lee's career.[75]

2023–2025: World #1

In 2023, Lee experienced a massive resurgence on the international stage following her new partnership with Baek Ha-na. Their most significant triumph was winning the Indonesia Open, where they defeated Japan's Fukushima and Hirota in straight games, marking the first time in 13 years a Korean women's doubles pair won this title.[76] The duo's rapid ascent saw them reach a world ranking of number 2 by mid-year, a feat credited to their remarkable consistency across multiple title including the German Open and Malaysia Masters,[77][78] as well finished runner-up in the Thailand Masters,[79] All England Open,[80] Singapore Open,[81] and at the Asian Championships.[82] On the team front, Lee played a critical role in the Sudirman Cup, helping South Korea secure a silver medal in Suzhou, and contributed to the historic women's team gold medal at the Asian Games, where they stunned the host nation China 3–0.[9] At the end of 2023, they also reached the podium finish as runners-up at the China Open and the World Tour Finals,[83][84] and also the women's doubles silver medal in the Asian Games.[7]

In 2024, Lee and Baek reached the absolute summit of professional badminton, officially becoming the World No. 1 pair in the BWF rankings on 29 October 2024.[4] This year was defined by their "big event" temperament, as they captured the historical tournament, the All England Open in March, where they defeated Japan's Matsuyama and Shida in a grueling three-game final to secure Korea's first women's doubles title there in years.[85] They followed this by conquering the Asian Championships in Ningbo, China, ending a 19-year drought for South Korean women's doubles at the continental level.[6] In June, they successfully defended their Indonesia Open title, proving their dominance by defeating Chen and Jia pair in straight games.[86] Although the pair faced a heartbreaking quarter-final exit at the Paris 2024 Olympics,[87] they closed the year with unmatched consistency, winning the Japan Open and won the year-end final tournament, the BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou.[88][89]

Lee and Baek showcased remarkable resilience, capping off the 2025 season they described as "hard-fought" with a historic title defense. In March, they reached the final of the Orleans Masters as the top seeds, losing the final against teammates Kim Hye-jeong and Kong Hee-yong.[90] The pair managed to defend their crown at the BWF World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, China, defeating Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto in straight games.[8] A defining moment of this victory was an epic 156-shot marathon rally in the first game, which became a viral sensation and underscored the pair's superior physical fitness.[91] Earlier in October, they secured their first ever Denmark Open title, fighting back from a set down to defeat their compatriots Kim Hye-jeong and Kong Hee-yong.[92]

2026: First World Championships title

Lee and Baek capitalized on their good form into the new year by going to the Malaysia Open final, where they lost to Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning in a treacherous and stamina-depleted match.[93] In March, they competed in the All England Open where they lost to Liu and Tan with similar score line as in the Malaysia Open previously.[94] Lee competed in the Uber Cup with the Korean team, which went on to become champions after the team defeating China in the final.[95]

In August, Lee and Baek competed in the 2026 BWF World Championships. In the quarterfinals, they defeated the Indonesian pair of Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma and Meilysa Trias Puspita Sari in straight games.[96] For the next match, the pair struggled early in the first game but eventually found their rhythm to beat Li Yijing and Luo Xumin; and advanced to the final.[97] Their opposition for the final would be the reigning champion and world number 1, Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning. In the first game, Baek and Lee scored the first five points and never trailed along the way, winning by the score of 21–15. Onto the second game, it was a tighter game until Lee and Baek took a commanding lead of 10–5 into the interval. Liu and Tan cut the deficit to 12–13 before Lee and Baek scored five unanswered points to restore the five-point gap. The Korean pair finished the game off with another 21–15 score line and ended the Korean 31-year drought in the women's doubles category since 1995, when Gil Young-ah and Jang Hye-ock won the gold medal.[5]
