Kim Dong Moon isn't even in the country. He is in Canada. Perhaps you are thinking of Kim Moon-soo, gold medallist from '92, not '04. He coaches Lee at Samsung and coached him on the junior national team.

Ha Tae-kwun is a player for the Samsung and team coaches on the national team, as does Lee Dong-soo. It goes without saying that Lee has many mentors available.

Well, he has the next best thing. He has trained with 3 of the people who played, and won, with Park Joo Bong. Chung Myung Hee, Park's mixed doubles partner in their 4 All England and 2 WC wins, coached Lee at high school. Kim Moon-soo, Park's men's doubles partner for 2 WC's, 3 AE's, and 1 Olympic gold, coaches Lee's professional team now. Ra Kyung-min, Park's partner for 1 AE and 1 Olympic silver, was a trainer, then a coach for the national team in the 2 years before she left for Canada. She also coached all of Lee's mixed doubles partners (Ha, Hwang, and Lee).
