The singer posted a photo cheering on South Korea on social media which has attracted attention from fans. According to TheirsLisa chose a jersey with Lee’s name on the back because the star midfielder is the boyfriend of her close friend, Park Sang-hyo.

South Korea came from behind to beat the Czech Republic 2-1 in their opening match. While star players like Lee and Son Heung-min did not get on the scoresheet, the team secured three points thanks to an equalizer from Hwang In-beom and a late winner from substitute Oh Hyeon-gyu.

Lisa and Park are known to be close friends and are occasionally seen hanging out together. They were previously spotted together in a stand in France to cheer on Lee, who currently wears the number 19 jersey for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), according to Khaosod.

Lee joined PSG in 2023 after spending several years playing in Spain for Valencia (2017-2021) and Mallorca (2021-2023). During his time in France, he has won 10 titles with PSG, including three Ligue 1 titles, two Coupe de France trophies, three Trophée des Champions and two UEFA Champions League titles.

His girlfriend Park comes from a wealthy family. Her grandfather was the honorary chairman of the Doosan Group, while her father, Park Jin-won, serves as the vice president of Doosan Bobcat Korea. She is widely known as a “fifth-generation tycoon” in South Korea.
