'''Lee Kang-seok''' ([[Korean language|Korean]]: 이강석, [[Hanja]]: 李康奭, born 28 February 1985) is a South Korean [[Speed skating|speed skater]]. He is the 2007 and 2009 [[World Single Distance Championships for Men#500m|World Champion for 500&nbsp;m]]. At the [[2006 Winter Olympics]], he won a bronze medal in the 500&nbsp;m. He is the second South Korean person to win a medal in an event outside of short track speedskating, and he has become a representative to show that South Korea is expanding towards cultivating their athletes to excel in sports other than short track speed skating.<br />
<br />
On 5 March 2006, Lee won his first [[ISU Speed Skating World Cup|World Cup]] title, winning the 2005–06 World Cup on the 500&nbsp;m. A year later, Lee won gold at the [[World Single Distance Championships]] in the [[Utah Olympic Oval]], setting a world record time of 34.25 seconds in the second race. The record has been broken since then by [[Jeremy Wotherspoon]] on 9 November 2007, with a time of 34.03 seconds. At the [[2009 Winter Universiade]] in [[Harbin]], [[China]], Lee won the 500&nbsp;m, beating [[Yu Fengtong]] with times of 35.00 and 34.82.<br />
