Born in 1974, Lee majored in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Southern California and joined Korean Air in 2003. He is recognized as an aviation expert with over 20 years of extensive hands-on experience across the aviation industry.

During his tenure at Korean Air, he held key roles both on-site and in management, including responsibilities for airframe maintenance at the Operations Inspection and Maintenance Plant, securing MRO business contracts in the Maintenance Planning Department, HR management in the Talent Development Office, head of the Management Team at the Americas Regional Headquarters, and head of the Policy Planning Team in the Policy Support Office.
