he set both a national record and a personal best time of 13.53 seconds , by finishing second for the 110 metres hurdles at the 2008 colorful daegu pre-championships meeting in daegu .
lee represented south korea at the 2008 summer olympics in beijing , where he competed for the men 's 110 m hurdles , an event which was later dominated by cuban athlete and world-record holder dayron robles .
he ran in the second heat against seven other athletes , including united states ' david oliver , and spain 's jackson quiñónez , both of whom were heavy favorites in this event .
he finished the race in fifth place by four hundredths of a second -lrb- 0.04 -rrb- ahead of trinidad and tobago 's mikel thomas , with a time of 13.65 seconds .
although he was ranked below four mandatory slots , lee qualified for the next phase of the competition based on his time and performance in the heats .
two days later , lee , however , fell short in his bid for the semi-finals , as he placed sixth in the second heat of the quarterfinal rounds , with a national record-breaking time of 13.55 seconds .
