Dongjun Lee departs Hertha BSC

Shortly before Christmas, another personnel decision has been made in the capital, with Dongjun Lee leaving the club after just under a year and making the move to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC in his homeland. “It’s a shame that due to a diverse range of injuries, Dongjun was unfortunately unable to show his potential at Hertha BSC over a sustained period of time. Together with him, we had hoped that he would take off with us from a sporting perspective and remain a part of the national team, which would have helped him in relation to his national service, which is coming up for him next year,” said Fredi Bobic following his departure on Thursday. “With the transfer back to his homeland, we have managed to find a good solution for all sides. We wish Dongjun all the best for the future,“ continued Hertha’s managing director for sport and communication.

The 25-year-old joined Hertha at the end of January from K League 1 side Ulsan Hyundai and made four Bundesliga appearances for the Blue-Whites. The attacker failed to score in any of his competitive appearances for the club.
