Lee Jung-hoo's management company Rico Sports announced on the 11th that it was inevitable to change Lee Jung-hoo's departure flight due to the recent wildfires spreading in LA.
Ricosport explained 'We inevitably changed it to a flight to Las Vegas for the safety of the athlete because the existing flight stopover was LA.
Lee was originally scheduled to leave the country on the 12th, but he will fly on the 13th.
L.A., the largest city in the West, has been moaning from wildfires for four days. A large area, which is about 25% of the area of Seoul, has been reduced to ashes. According to Reuters, the loss is estimated to exceed $60 billion (about 88 trillion won).
The mansion owned by Park Chan-ho also suffered from forest fires.
Park Chan-ho is said to have purchased the house in 1999. It is a two-story mansion with 1,300 pyeong of land and 200 pyeong of land, and is designed in the typical California style. Seven bedrooms are equipped with exercise practice rooms, movie viewing rooms, swimming pools and steam bathrooms, and artificial waterfalls. This mansion was also introduced through domestic entertainment shows, drawing great attention.
Lee Jung-hoo signed a six-year total of $113 million (about 163.6 billion won) contract with San Francisco ahead of last season. He was injured early in the season and unfortunately ended his first year. He hit .262 (38 hits in 145 at-bats) with a 0.310 on-base percentage, two homers, eight RBIs and 15 runs in 37 games.

The media said, "'Lee Jung-hoo was San Francisco's biggest FA recruit last season, but he played only 37 games when he ended the season with a left shoulder injury in May last year. Lee Jung-hoo is expected to be able to fully participate in the spring camp. He is expected to return to center field and leadoff positions. San Francisco still believes that Lee Jung-hoo can unleash a dynamic attack based on his special contact skills.
Steamer, the performance prediction system of the U.S. baseball statistics site 「Fangraph」, believes that Lee Jung-hoo will have a higher batting average than Shohei Ohtani in the 2025 season.
Lee Jung-hoo's expected batting average was 0.294, ranking fifth overall in the Major League, while Ohtani ranked 18th with 0.280.
