The NC club officially announced the appointment of coach Lee Ho-joon on the 22nd. The details of the contract are 300 million won in down payment, 950 million won in annual salary (300 million won in the first and second years, 350 million won in the third year), and 150 million won in incentives. Coach Lee Ho-joon, who moved to the oldest team ahead of the 2013 season, the early days of NC's foundation, also retired from NC. The start of his coaching career was also NC. He served as a batting coach at NC until the 2021 season, and later served as a batting coach and head coach at the LG Twins.
The NC uniform, which was worn again after about three years, was not very unfamiliar. Coach Lee Ho-joon's first day of work took place at Changwon NC Park on the 24th. The NC team is currently conducting final training at Changwon NC Park and Masan Stadium, but this day was just a day off for the team. However, coach Lee Ho-joon came to the ballpark with a bright face to meet some players in personal training and greet the front staff as well.
Director Lee Ho-joon, who met with reporters, said "It's not that awkward because it hasn't been long since I left. It's a team that's been watching with interest. Doesn't it look good on you even if you wear it for the first time in a while?" Since his days as a player, he has been considered an interview eloquent speaker for his unique cheerful tone and accent, but he also showed nervousness on the day when he met reporters for the first time as a coach. Director Lee Ho-joon also said, "I don't know why I'm so nervous and keep stuttering."," he said shyly.

He has been influenced a lot since he was a player with big coaches such as Kim Kyung-moon, Kim Sung-geun, and Cho Bum-hyun. Coach Lee Ho-joon said "The common words of the coaches I served were 'Coach must never lose credibility to players and staff. As soon as you take responsibility for what you say, the players and staff never listen. He said this in common. I'm thinking deeply about those stories. In particular, head coach Yeom Kyung-yeop will be in charge of the head coach this year, and start thinking that you are the head coach from now on. In this situation, they also asked me what I would sign and when I would change the pitcher. I saw the results of the directors doing that, and I'm thankful that they gave me a lot of study"Thank you."

He was the eldest brother who was so charismatic when he was a player. He was also an exemplary leader who valued basics and manners, and a spiritual leader who gave generously to his juniors. It was also difficult for juniors with a large age difference to dare to go nearby. As the charisma of that time still remains, the players are also excited and nervous at the same time.
Coach Lee Ho-joon said, `Next season's captain is being narrowed down to about two. I'm thinking between Park Min-woo and Park Se-hyuk. Park Min-woo is a friend who took care of my bag and game tools when he was the youngest when he was a player. We talked well, so we talked on the phone often even when we were in another team. You must be well aware of what I hate and value. Park Se-hyuk is a player from another team a few years ago, but he was evaluated as being very sincere and hardworking.
Coach Lee is scheduled to direct the final training at Changwon NC Park from the 25th.
