Lee's breakout role comes from 2022 Netflix drama Juvenile Justice, in which Lee's character is a 13-year-old male teenager Baek Seong-woo, who was charged with murdering a young schoolboy in the drama's first two episodes. Despite being a female and her Korean age of 28 at the time she portrayed Seong-woo, Lee's acting and transformation as a cold-blooded murderer was positively reviewed and applauded by audiences and critics.{{Cite web|title=《少年法庭》從第一集就吸引觀眾目光的是她！27歲女演員李妍超反轉！劇中變身未滿14歲的觸法少年|trans-title='Juvenile Justice' first episode spotlight - 27-year-old Lee Yeon attracts attention with shocking transformation into juvenile offender less than 14 years old|url=https://www.koreastardaily.com/tc/news/140103|date=1 March 2022|work=KSD Korea Star Daily|access-date=13 April 2022|language=zh|archive-date=March 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321232806/https://www.koreastardaily.com/tc/news/140103|url-status=live}}{{Unreliable source?|reason=See reliable sources list on WP:KO/RS|date=June 2025}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-drama/article/3168896/k-drama-review-juvenile-justice-netflix-kim-hye-soo-proves|title=Review: K-drama review: Juvenile Justice on Netflix – Kim Hye-soo proves an indomitable force amid series' legal thrills and strong cast|author=Pierce Conran|website=South China Morning Post|date=2 March 2022|access-date=13 April 2022|language=en|archive-date=April 4, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220404154513/https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/k-pop/k-drama/article/3168896/k-drama-review-juvenile-justice-netflix-kim-hye-soo-proves|url-status=live}} Lee's performance in Juvenile Justice allowed her to gain a "Best New Actress" award nomination by the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards, but the award was eventually given to Kim Hye-jun.{{cite news|url=https://mb.com.ph/2022/04/12/all-of-us-are-dead-the-red-sleeve-squid-game-bag-baeksang-arts-awards-nominations/|title='All of Us Are Dead,' 'The Red Sleeve,' 'Squid Game' bag 58th Baeksang Arts Awards nominations|date=12 April 2022|access-date=13 April 2022|publisher=Manila Bulletin|archive-date=February 27, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230227155335/https://mb.com.ph/2022/04/12/all-of-us-are-dead-the-red-sleeve-squid-game-bag-baeksang-arts-awards-nominations/|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanmacdonald/2022/04/11/netflix-a-noticeable-presence-in-58th-baeksang-arts-award-nominations/?sh=6cc2854548b0|title=Netflix A Noticeable Presence In 58th Baeksang Arts Award Nominations|date=11 April 2022|access-date=13 April 2022|work=Forbes|archive-date=April 13, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220413121849/https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanmacdonald/2022/04/11/netflix-a-noticeable-presence-in-58th-baeksang-arts-award-nominations/?sh=6cc2854548b0|url-status=live}}
