Lee, who joined Ulsan in 2020 and helped the club to the continental title at the end of his first year back in Korea Republic, leaves having also won three K League 1 crowns since signing from Vfl Bochum.
“The time I spent in Ulsan was not just a page in my career, it became an important part of my life,” Lee wrote in a message posted on the club’s social media.
“We've achieved so much together. The moments of victory, the sweat and tears shed with colleagues, and the warm support of the fans who have always been unchanged will remain in my life as a memory that I will never forget.”

The 37-year-old started his professional career with FC Seoul but came to prominence during nine seasons in England, where he played with Bolton Wanderers and Crystal Palace before his switch to Bochum in the Bundesliga in 2018.
He played 89 times for Korea Republic, scoring nine times, before retiring from international football in 2019.
Lee did not renew his contract with Ulsan after a disappointing season for the club last year, which saw the five-times champions narrowly avoid relegation. He has yet to announce his plans for the future.
