Lee Jeong-hoo played as the 5th hitter and right fielder in the home game against the Athletics on the 24th, making his presence known once again. In his first at-bat in the bottom of the second inning, he accurately targeted opposing starting pitcher Aaron Seabal's cutter and fired a solo shot with a distance of 126 meters that went over the right-center wall. This is the longest home run Lee Jeong-hoo has recorded since entering the major leagues, and it is also an indicator that his hitting skills and power have reached their peak. The San Francisco Giants succeeded in escaping their 3-game losing streak by winning 3-1 thanks to Lee Jeong-hoo's first-clinching home run.

What is surprising is the variety of performances he showed on the pitch. On this day, Jeong-hoo Lee not only achieved a home run, but also an infield hit in the 4th inning and a stolen base after a walk in the 6th inning, achieving his 5th stolen base record of the season. He received an outstanding report card of 2 hits, 1 RBI, and 1 run in 3 at-bats, raising his batting average to 0.331 and firmly maintaining his position as 2nd in batting in the National League. Going beyond being a simple long hitter, he is proving in every game that he is a ‘complete hitter’ with accurate hitting, quick feet, and skillful game management skills.

More than anything, what touched the hearts of fans was the cheering ceremony shown in the dugout right after the home run. Lee Jeong-hoo returned to the bench, looked at the camera, clapped five times, and energetically shouted “Great Korea!” This was a surprise cheer for Hong Myung-bo's national soccer team ahead of the final group match of the North and Central America World Cup held the next day. The sight of him wearing Son Heung-min's uniform and cheering for the national team during the game was a heart-warming scene that showed how deeply Korean sportspeople support each other beyond the sport.

This incident suggests that sport is a powerful medium for sharing national identity and solidarity beyond a simple record of wins and losses. Lee Jeong-hoo did not forget his roots even in the harsh and fierce competition of the Major League, and showed composure and dignity in wishing his fellow players their best. His actions served as an opportunity to promote the passionate cheering culture unique to Korean culture to local media and fans. As a result, this home run will be remembered not only as a milestone toward Lee Jeong-hoo's personal career high, but also as the strongest and warmest message of encouragement sent to the Korean national team.
