Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is delighted to have secured Chung Yong-lee to a new contract.
Lee has signed a contract extension until 2013.
Lee, 24, has been in sparkling form for Bolton, who are lying fifth in the table.
Coyle, who arrived in January from Burnley, believes the future is looking ever brighter at the club.
He said: "We have signed Lee on a contract extension. It is great news for the club that such a talented player will be here for a long time.
"With the talent he has Lee is getting better day by day and I am thrilled he has signed up.
"What I am wary of is we do not burn him out as he has played two years without a break. He managed to have three weeks off after the World Cup that's all."
Lee, who arrived from FC Seoul last summer, has started all 14 league games this season and weighed in with two goals.
