Mr. Bae Ji Won shared: "Lee Young Jin plays an important role in perfecting and implementing tactics under coach Park Hang Seo. He is a strong candidate to take over the "hot seat" of the Vietnamese team." According to expert Bae Ji Won, Mr. Lee Young Jin is capable of inheriting the legacy of coach Park Hang Seo and continuing to develop the Vietnamese team. He emphasized the factor of suitability. Mr. Bae Ji Won said that the important thing for the new head coach of the Vietnamese team is to understand the history, lifestyle and style of each player. "Most coaches who have been successful with a football background are well aware of the environment of that country and the characteristics of each player. If a coach who has worked with a previous successful coach takes over the position, it will be easier for that person to achieve their goals. Coach Lee Young Jin understands the football environment and people of Vietnam better than any other foreign coach," Mr. Bae Ji Won shared.

In addition, Mr. Bae Ji Won also highly appreciated Lee Young Jin's talent. He has worked for many years in coaching in many different positions (he led FC Seoul or Daegu FC in the Korean national championship). Mr. Lee Young Jin has not accepted to lead any team since leaving the Vietnamese team. He is currently a member of the National Team Strengthening Committee of the Korean Football Federation. This is the agency responsible for finding a new coach for the national team.
