Recently, at Park Seung-chul Hair Studio’s second brand, Parkgong Hair Seoul Forest House, he cut his hair that he had grown for three years and donated it to the “Hair Donation Movement Headquarters for Children with Cancer” (Eomona Movement Headquarters). Lee Yoo-seok played on the KPGA Tour with his long hair flowing down to his shoulders. The donated hair will be made into custom wigs for pediatric cancer patients. He said, "I decided to donate my hair starting in 2022 and have been growing it since then," adding, "I hope it can be of some help to children battling cancer."

Lee Yoo-seok won twice on the 2022 Challenge Tour and has been competing on the KPGA Tour since last year. Although he ranked 81st in the Genesis Points this year and did not retain his tour card for next year, he regained his card by finishing tied for 11th in the Qualifying Tournament. His best result last year was a tie for 10th at the Woori Financial Live Championship.

He will leave for training camp in Vietnam next January. Lee Yoo-seok said, "Personally, it was a tough season. I learned a lot and clearly identified areas I need to improve," and vowed, "I will do my best this winter to show a better performance in the 2025 season."
