K League 1 club Ulsan HD has appointed Lee Young-pyo (49), former president of Gangwon FC and a former national team player, as the club's first outside director.

On the 30th, Ulsan held an extraordinary shareholders' meeting at its club house in Dong-gu, Ulsan, and announced the appointment of Lee Young-pyo Jeon (CEO) as the club's outside director.

Ulsan expects Lee Young-pyo's new role as outside director to contribute to the club's philosophy and the formulation of its medium- to long-term vision, drawing on his European experience and administrative expertise.

As a player, Lee Young-pyo competed for PSV Eindhoven, Tottenham, and Borussia Dortmund, and earned 127 caps (with five goals) for the national team, including at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, establishing himself as a national team legend.

After retiring from playing, he pursued a career in administration, serving not only as a commentator but also as an outside director at Gangwon Koo Dan (CEO) and as vice president of the Korea Football Association.

Following the December appointment of Kang Myeong-won (CEO) director and head coach Kim Hyun-seok last year, Ulsan continues its direction toward "advancing professional football administration" through the appointment of Lee Young-pyo as outside director.

A club official stated, "With this appointment of an outside director, we plan to further enhance the club's transparent management and professionalism."
