2011

Known as the "Good Looking Emperor", Lee is best known for his time in All Japan Pro Wrestling, where, within two runs between 2011 and 2022, became a two-time Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion and Champion Carnival winner in 2021.

He debuted for Pro Wrestling Noah in 2023 during their New Years event and in March, two months after his debut for the promotion, became the GHC Heavyweight Champion by defeating Kaito Kiyomiya at their Great Voyage in Yokohama event.

Lee joined the All Japan Pro Wrestling dojo in January 2011, initially training under Keiji Mutoh.

He debuted on August 17 of that year using his real name in a loss to Taiyo Kea, and lost again the following day, this time to Ryota Hama, but on August 20, Gyong picked up his first victory with a win over Yasufumi Nakanoue, and was once again victorious on August 24, teaming with Akebono and Masakatsu Funaki to defeat Joe Doering, Mazada and René Dupree.

Gyong represented AJPW in The Destroyer Cup Battle Royal at All Together 2011, eventually won by Kentaro Shiga.

Gyong teamed with Takumi Soya on September 11 to defeat Soshun and Yasufumi Nakanoue, but was defeated by Soya and Takao Omori on September 17 when he teamed with Manabu Soya.

After sustaining an injury, Gyong announced his retirement from professional wrestling in October 2011 after just ten professional matches.

2015

Gyong announced his return to professional wrestling and AJPW on May 21, 2015, now going under the ring name Jake Lee.

His first match back took place on June 4, when he teamed with Jun Akiyama to defeat Takao Omori and Naoya Nomura.

In December, after Kento Miyahara tried to join Evolution but was rejected by Suwama, Miyahara announced the formation of a new unit known as Nextream, consisting initially of Miyahara and Lee.

On January 21, Nextream defeated Jun Akiyama and Yuma Aoyagi, and on February 13 defeated Akiyama and Takao Omori to become the new #1 contenders to the World Tag Team Championship.

Lee and Miyahara unsuccessfully challenged champions Zeus and The Bodyguard on February 21.
