Lee Seung Sin Girlfriend: Is Lee Seung Sin In A Relationship?

The data available is on Lee Seung Sin very minimal and does not point to his past and present relationships or engagements. As of now, we can only say he is not in any relationship is not married yet, and has no kids either. Any time there is credible information on his nuclear family status we will update his profile.

Japan fly-half Lee Seung-sin said Monday he wants to blaze a trail for his country’s ethnic Korean population by playing at this year’s Rugby World Cup.

Lee was born in Japan and is one of roughly 300,000 ethnic Koreans, a group that has long suffered discrimination in areas such as employment and social welfare, living in the country.

Lee made his debut for the Brave Blossoms as a 21-year-old against Uruguay in June last year and started both home tests against France the following month.

Now he has his sights set on a place in head coach Jamie Joseph’s final squad for this year’s World Cup in France, and he wants to set an example for Japan’s ethnic Korean community.

“If I play at the World Cup, it will give a lot of encouragement for young kids aiming to stand on the same stage in the future,” he said after a training session with Joseph’s preliminary Japan squad. “It will give them something to dream about, a route that they can see. By playing, I want to show people that it’s possible.”

Ethnic Koreans in Japan are mostly descendants of civilians taken from their homes during Japan’s brutal colonization of the Korean peninsula from 1910 until Tokyo’s defeat in World War II in 1945.

The division of the Korean Peninsula and the devastating 1950-53 Korean War also divided the community in Japan.

Some Koreans — like Lee, who attended Osaka Korean High School —are educated at schools with backing from pro-North Korea organizations and funding from Pyongyang.

He said representing his community was “a good motivation.”

“I want to take on that responsibility and embrace the challenge,” he said.

Lee was among 36 players named in Japan’s test squad as Joseph began his preparations for the World Cup, which kicks off in September.

Japan, which reached the quarterfinals on home soil four years ago, has been drawn in Pool D with England, Argentina, Samoa, and Chile.

Lee was one of three recognized fly-halves named in the squad, alongside Rikiya Matsuda and Junpei Ogura. He has six international caps and said playing against France last year was “a big positive.”

“I understand what is expected of the player who wears the No. 10 shirt for Japan,” said Lee, who was drafted into the starting lineup on the eve of the first test against France when Takuya Yamasawa tested positive for COVID-19. “The others have more experience than me but I want to keep learning and believe in my abilities.”

Lee said playing at the World Cup had been his dream ever since he was young.

“I have the chance to take that step and make it come true, so I want to make the most of every day and believe in myself,” he said. “I’ll try my utmost to be picked for the World Cup squad.”
