Former baseball player Lee Jong-beom was proud of his son Lee Jung-hoo.

On the tvN show ‘You Quiz on the Block’ on the 24th, Lee Jong-beom said about Lee Jung-hoo receiving a 6-year, $113 million (approximately 156.3 billion won) contract from the San Francisco Giants, “It’s still surprising to think about it. It’s like a dream that my son received such a huge contract and advanced to the major leagues. I heard that Jung-hoo got down on his knees. I’m so touched that this is happening to me…”

When MC Jo Se-ho asked, “Did you give part of the signing bonus to your family?” Lee Jong-beom smiled and said, “I don’t expect it,” but “I’d be happy if you did.” He said, “I had that kind of time too.” He added, “I don’t put pressure on them. I also played sports, but my mom and dad suffered and supported me, and the current environment is different.” He said he was there when Lee Jung-hoo suffered a shoulder dislocation in May and said, “It’s unfortunate. He’s a player before he’s a child. I always talk about injuries. I say, ‘Don’t try hard and don’t get hurt.’ It’s unfortunate that he was exposed to injuries because the body reacts when exercising.”

MC Yoo Jae-suk said, “When it comes to raising children, it’s Lee Jong-beom. He became a grandfather after seeing his grandson.” Lee Jong-beom explained, “That’s right. (Son-in-law) Go Woo-seok had a son.” When Jo Se-ho said, “The biggest concern is whether he will follow his uncle and become a hitter or his father and become a pitcher,” Lee Jong-beom said, “I’m a grandfather, so my mom and dad need to make a decision,” but added, “From what I’ve seen, his hands and feet are very strong.”
