'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey' Lee Jong-beom recounted an episode of receiving a cookie gift set as a holiday present.
On the 1st broadcast of TV CHOSUN 'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey', 'son of the wind' Lee Jong-beom grants appeared and went on a Gwangju food trip.
That day Heo Yeong-man said, "Haitai is a rival of Lotte, isn't it?" and asked whether it was unacceptable to chew the rival team's brand of gum in the atmosphere at the time.
Lee Jong-beom recalled, "Once we were taking the team car to an away game in Busan, and I asked the manager for just one piece of gum, but he said there was none. So I bought the rival team's gum and chewed it."
He continued, "They said, 'Hey, it's Haitai, so why are you chewing Lotte gum?' I told the manager, if they're our rivals, shouldn't we load our gum into the car so we don't end up buying the rival team's gum? You can't just ask for Haitai gum in Busan," which drew laughter.
In particular, Lee Jong-beom said, "At that time the team had no money, but at Chuseok we received a cookie assorted gift set."
Lee Jong-beom said, "My mother left a famous line. 'Even a dog wouldn't eat it.' Others gave beef and ham, but we were given an assorted cookie set." Hearing this, Heo Yeong-man said, "That was really extreme," expressing surprise.
Lee Jong-beom also said, "This is the last sad story," and revealed, "There was a time when we won the championship. They had to give bonuses to me and Sun Dong-yeol, but the team's finances were not good enough to give bonuses."
At the time the team director had them release a commemorative album with singer Yang Soo-kyung to provide the bonuses. Lee Jong-beom said, "Yang Soo-kyung, Sun Dong-yeol and I released a commemorative album," mentioning the legendary trio 'I love you.'
He added, "Would the manager like that? He wouldn't. 'Send those guys to nightclubs,' he said. So I worked harder and won the 1994 MVP. I didn't want to hear that I couldn't play baseball because of that," he revealed.
