Her mother is Kim Gyeong-hui who played as a setter for the South Korea women's national volleyball team at the 1988 Summer Olympics.

Lee studied in the Jeonju Jungsan Elementary School, the Jinju Gyeonghae Girls' Middle School and the Jinju Sunmyung Girls' High School.

Her twin sister Lee Jae-yeong is also a national volleyball player.

In February 2021, several people who went to the same school club as the two sisters posted it online, that the twins had committed school violence.

It is said that they also assaulted and threatened their teammates with weapons, confinement, verbal and psychological abuse, and swearing at their parents.

The sisters were both suspended indefinitely by their club after being anonymously accused of bullying online.

The Korean Volleyball Association also issued a disciplinary punishment that they have been banned from participating in the national team indefinitely as well as permanent expulsion so that they cannot be listed on the list as a volleyball coaches even after retirement.

They have however claimed that many of the bullying accusations made towards them were false, and plan on taking legal action against the anonymous author of the online post.
