How can this shocking thing happen.

The coach left the team during the season. It's to appear on a variety show. It is all the more surprising to hear that the leader from 'Legend', who dominated Korean baseball, made this choice.

KT Wiz coach Lee Jong-beom suddenly left the team. A high-ranking KT official said "Coach Lee will be removed from the entry today (27th). I'm leaving the team." KT went down to Busan to play three consecutive away games against the Lotte Giants. This coach didn't go down.




The coach, known as the Son of the Wind, made his name as the best shortstop of all time with both ball and ball and state when he was active. Even after retirement, he continued his leadership career. In 2023, he became the winner of the LG Twins, and last year, he was in the U.S. to take care of his son Lee Jung-hoo (San Francisco), who entered the U.S. Major League Baseball. Even when he was in the U.S., he did not let go of baseball by training at the Texas Rangers spring camp in the Major League Baseball.

And after the end of last year's season, he joined KT in a surprise move. Responding to the call of director Lee Kang-chul, a senior at Gwangju Jeil High School. It was expected to be a great help to fielders in general areas such as outfield defense, base running, and hitting. Coach Lee is also motivated.

However, the first half was not even over, and the team was in a desperate competition for rankings and suddenly left. The coach is said to have recently announced his intention to resign to the club. The reason is to appear on baseball entertainment programs. Popular baseball entertainment shows are at odds over each other's copyright, and the original copyrighted broadcaster formed a new team to produce the broadcast, and contacted coach Lee in the process of finding a new coach.




The baseball team is also a company. You can quit depending on your personal will. You can also find a new job. If Lee had been the coach of another club looking for a manager, KT would have clapped and let him go. However, KT was also embarrassed when he said he would leave the team to work as a baseball entertainment manager, no matter how much it was a manager. A KT official said, `We tried to invite Samgo, but the coach Lee's will was very strong"After discussions with director Lee Kang-chul, we decided to cancel the registration" he explained.
