![[Knowing Bros] SF Giants new S. Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee😎 TV Show Compilation](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ciuyvj_Uz-c/mqdefault.jpg)
It must have not been easy for him to introduce himself to the MLB market speaking English but he nailed it.
Can He Do It Again
Lmao love his personality and effort to learn the english language. Hope he does well in san fran
SF
San Francisco, SF, or The City 😉
I admire JungHoo for wanting to speak in English. He really prepared himself. Btw, he was asking if he looked handsome, “(do I look) handsome?” as if it to say “do I look alright?” after adjusting his baseball cap. I think he is very handsome! 👍🏼⚾️
So polite and genuine...I love him ! WELCOME!!!!
Love this kid already. I hope he plays hard. Doesn’t lose his confidence and makes a big impact for the Giants
This guy might be a legend in the making lol personality is hilarious
"Grandson of wind"
That is one helluva nickname lol also with his family legacy lol
Anytime someone is fresh with a new language, it leads to memorable moments. I hope he has a great career. 🖤🔥
I'm happy that the Giants are finally making an effort to be competitive. The rivalry between SF and LA hasn't been as intense as of late, so I'm hoping that the addition of Jung Hoo Lee will help kick-start that up again.
"Finally" remember that contract they offered Correa last off-season 😂 dodged a bullet.
@@directorbeaulol😮
@@directorbeau Yes, I do remember. I said "finally" because they've been after all the big FA's, and haven't been able to land any of them. Now, Jung Hoo Lee isn't exactly a *big* FA per se, but it is a big signing for the once idle Giants. I hope it works out for them.
Japan vs Korea, WW2 baseball edition
I mean we've won more world series than the dodgers have sniffed pretty recently and we didn't have to try and buy them either
Probably has the coolest nickname in MLB already...."Grandson of the Wind"
instant fan.
Welcome to the MLB from the KBO League, Jung Hoo Lee! Thanks to my awesome nephew Danny (a biggest fan of JH Lee!), I got to know him and became a fan myself. While I secretly wished for Jung Hoo Lee to join the Chicago Cubs, I'm glad he's in SF; it means more amazing trips with my Danny by his side! lol My Danny & I are so proud of him and excited to see what he achieves! Congrats and best of luck in the big leagues!
For reference, when I was younger, I was a fan of his father Mr. Jong Beom Lee.
Looks like actor from korean drama. I need this boy to be fking good at playing baseball.
He is I watched him in the KBO during covid. Even then I was like this guy is a Kpop idol or actor
Great personality. Wish him the best of luck!
He really handsome ngl
Let's GO JH Lee!!! Excited to see him out there
JH가 왜 재호로 번역이 되냐 ㅋㅋㅋ. 정후라고 구글아 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Nice job speaking English I know it’s hard speaking a different language and he really did well on that nice work ⚾️👌
South Koreans tend to learn English in school so I’m not surprised he grasped the language so quickly
Yea but they don't get to practice it a lot. When I was in school I took Spanish but I never practiced it so it didn't stick with me. I was very impressed by his English
I dunno. Never expected him to get a $100M+ contract. But hey, the future is a mystery. Prove me wrong 💪🔥
I think it surprised many initially, but Ha Seong Kim of the Padres (who was a teammate of JHL in the KBO) is a legit 6 WAR player and Gold Glover and JHL is a cut above Kim in pure hitting ability and overall talent, so it may just be the data cutting JHL looses from the KBO anchor and unlocking his true market value.
I noticed that Korean MLB players try/attempt to speak English, but the Japanese’s players use Japanese/English translators.
He’s very devout catholic. God bless him
I was born in SF and lived in CA my whole life and JHL already speak better English than I do lol. Kid has a great personality and despite his age he's gonna set the tone with his work ethic and be a leader for this team. Embrace it Giants fans. We're coming back and signing JHL was the first big move. Let's make a few more and see if we can shake things up in the west. Dodgers are an absolute house so we gotta spend some money. LGG!
He’s not a kid
I really hope he has a great season for us. Unfortunately we have been terrible for awhile now. We have to get some more pictures and hitters and clean players who can field a play defense really quickly and great. We have been blown out several times last season. It’s really been really hard to watch it happen for years. I never thought I’d see this team win a championship but they did it 3 out of 5 years. I saw this happening and I just cried because my grandparents were saying that they were never going to see this team winning a championship. I felt so sad that they did this after he passed away and I looked up and said that they won a championship grandpa we won. I don’t think it’s going to happen again but I hope they do this again
dodgers get the best japanese player and giants get the best korean player wow the rivalry will be amazing
Didn't know he was this hot lol
Have Fun In San Francisco
이정후 선수 환영해요! 미국 생활 문화적으로 언어적으로 그리고 동료간에도 잘 적응하시고 시카고에 원정 경기 오시길 여고 시절 이종범 선수 팬이었던 지금은 이정후 선수의 이모팬이 기도합니다. :)
He didn't get a hair cut so seemed kinda off at this press, but this guy is a Superstar in S Korea not only because of the athleticism, but also his looks too. This guy is really handsome
Hoo Lee Shet 🐐
W ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Holy Jung
Lee Jung-hoo had two hits against Yamamoto at the Tokyo Olympics and made a timely hit to dismiss Darvish on the Wbc. Lee Jung-hoo is unlikely to have much time to adapt to the major pitcher's ball
🫰🏻
대한민국 가자!
I like this guy already!!! Excited to see him excel in SF
A Plus for speaking English. U can tell he's a major personality and will blend in right away with his new teammates. Meanwhile my Dodgers sign Ohtani and dude ain't even trying to learn/speak English!!
Can't find any good American baseball players. S. Korea baybay. Let's go.
Jung Hoo Lee is not like Othani as he is deliberately trying to speak in English. Othani has been in the US a few years now but has his translator everywhere he goes. Jung Hoo went along well with Yasel Puig while they played for Kiwoon Hereos. In short, my point is that Jung Hoo will blend well with his teammates, and the humility he possesses would make him more valuable in the clubhouse and elsewhere.
Japanese players are known to have translator with them throughout their entire career. Ichiro had his translator with him till the end of his long career, I never heard him speak English. It's a shame really.
Korean players are the opposite, although their English aren't perfect, their effort is admirable.
@@nomomania6827 I speculate the reason to be deeply rooted in Japanese culture and history. Japanese people in general have this strange sense of superiority, believing that their everything, including language, is better than others. That’s probably the reason they don’t even make that little effort of, at least, attempting to learn another language. The first ever Korean baseball player to succeed in the MLB was Chan Ho Park, a fastball pitcher who did pretty well as a starter for LA Dodgers. This dude went all out to learn English, going as far as to forget his mother tongue 😂.
@@jrefeedsytits true, japanese culture is genuine.
Otthani only thinks about baseball. He doesn't go outside when there is no practicea or games. His life is focused on baseball
@@jrefeedsytit’s also they don’t want to get misinterpreted but your right about the superiority thing as well I find that to be disrespectful
Gonna be a shame to see him leave in 4 years
A bit disappointing that he didn’t have a Korean translator. Ohtani had a translator during his announcement. It’s disappointing that he didn’t have a Korean translator. It’s about the pride of his country.
he does. This is just his introduction. Foreign players usually do this but Ohtani doesn't.
He gets extra points for trying to speak English. The Japanese are weirdos
He did. The guy in right right, black suit, was the translator. This is just introduction before interview.
@JJ-lx9zb he is just guy work for boras cooperation. That guy ruined this event that day. Probably 30% translation was wrong. He did same thing when Hyun Jin Ryu joined dodgers on that event many years ago. So stupid . College kid could done better than him.
He never says "do i like handsome?" 🙄 He says "Handsome? Handsome?" So your title is wrong on so many levels.
Sorry karen
@@FiveDollar69 you're cool.
@@j----ytake a chill pill bruv
I do agree. It's insulting and low hanging fruit to assume and stereotype that the Asian guy will struggle to put words together. You're not being a Karen, but have more perceptive hearing than the rest of these baboons.
Already better english and personality than shohei
Huh?
He has a more outgoing personality. Whereas, Shohei seems introverted and shy.
@@krnpowrWell Koreans tend to be more outgoing than the Japanese. It’s just a cultural difference, not a personality.
현진이 보다 낫다
Where's Sharon Choi when you need her? Translations are horrendous.
He'll pick up English pretty quick im guessing
Jung Who?
You mean do I rike
Nah
@@burningknuckle26 they do it in Korea too
@@dutchmastah07 Goes to show how little you know about Korea.
@@krnpowr you mean how rittle
@@dutchmastah07 No, that would explain your IQ.
Please dont use that same guy for translator. It was horrible. College kid could done better than him.
Which Japanese player will be a bust
Hes not japanese... Hes korean you racist lol
What Japanese players are you referring to?
@@stopherrr lol he deleted my comment calling him a racist telling him hes korean
He’s Korean, dummy
you do know he's korean right?
Finally an Asian comes to the mlb and at least tries to speak English most of them come here and refuse to speak the language straight disrespect
I'm pretty sure Yoshida tried to speak English during his press conference, sure it was really bad but he tried to speak to the press in Boston, I think Shohei is the major one who doesn't speak English as much publicly, I'm pretty sure he speaks enough English to be fine by now at least (I hope) based on how he was talking to Nootbar the whole time in Japan, but at the same time he seems very introverted personality wise so its not like he's going out or his way not to speak to people, whereas this guy like most Koreans I personally know seems more out there and not worried about making mistakes with his speaking
@@BourneIdentity45 I think it’s a Japanese thing they don’t want things lost in translation but I remember ichiro and hideki matsui never bothered to speak a lick of English. The latino players like Acuña get a lot of heat for not trying to speak English I don’t see the Japanese getting this same heat
@@Tonyconstanza yea I agree, Japanese culture is kind of known for doing their best and not embarrassing yourself or your family or your country, even in the Japanese as a language there’s certain phrases that you have to say otherwise you’re considered being rude even if it’s just saying Arigato,I think Shohei may be thinking he doesn’t want to openly speak English unless he’s certain he won’t get it wrong, I do however see the point about the Latin American players and I think that’s more so an issue within the states that than it simply being a MLB or sports issue, I think most Americans have issues with Latinos being in the country and speaking Spanish but I think Japan is almost deemed far enough and foreign enough to where they give Asians in general a pass regardless of if they actually can speak English, in Shohei’s case however I think his star power means most media would do anything just to get to talk to him whereas with most Latino sports stars in the US there isn’t that scarcity only one you could think of currently is Leo Messi and he’s always spoken in Spanish in all of his interviews and hasn’t had a reason to learn English and even stated that he can speak basic but not more than the casual basic conversations players will have together
@@BourneIdentity45 that makes sense thank you for explaining that your a good sport. What you said about the scarcity and Japan being far is a good point. I’m speaking also mostly on mlb fans as opposed to just Americans, Japanese players have been coming over here for years now and still never heard anyone talk about them not speaking English in the same way Latinos are. This is in fact the first video I’ve seen where the comments are going after a Japanese player (ohtani) for not speaking English.
@@BourneIdentity45 ohtani should start speaking English though the latino players respect the fact they’re going to another country and alot of baseball camps in the Dominican Republic teach English some of them are even mandatory
Man talk about getting the scraps off the table after being denied from ohtani and every big star.
If you think Lee is scraps you have never seen him play….
Thinking this guy is "scraps" shows your IQ level.
Scraps? lol dude was literally in negotiations with the yankees, blue jays, padres and dodgers lol
@@kyshro if you think Lee can even hold shohei’s jock straps you’ve never seen him play. 5 tiers below and you’re treating this signing as an equal 😅🫶👍But hey, whatever appeases you bro
@@mm4forever Who is calling Lee the next Ohtani? Oh right, only you… 🤦🏻♂️And Dodgers are also paying him 600 million more 😂 I will say though Lee will have more hits & runs than Ohtani next season, mark my words
I am Korean myself but man I am sorry I don't understand half of his English.
thats cuz you're Korean and your english is bad lol we americans can clearly hear his english. I give Jung huge credit for making the effort and trying to fit in
I understood everything he said your just stupid
겁나 잘 이해되는데요? 영어공부 더 하소
Confidence to speak english deserve getting compliments…
🫵🏼 you are looking at the missing piece to the Giants’ upcoming dynasty.
Shohei Ohtani - you made the wrong decision.
Wrong Cali team.
🤣
YESSSIR!!
