Baseball player-turned-actor Lee Jong-beom revealed details regarding his son Lee Jung-hoo's income.

On the 7th, Lee Jong-beom appeared on the tvN STORY variety program 'Namgyeoseo Mwohage' and discussed his son Lee Jung-hoo, who is currently active as a Major Leaguer.

When Lee Young-ja asked on that day, "Do you not touch the money your son Lee Jung-hoo earns?" Lee Jong-beom firmly replied, "No." When Park Se-ri asked if he also does not receive an allowance, he said, "I am not receiving one currently. Since my body is still in good condition, I must live even harder."

Lee Jong-beom recalled the moment he first heard about Lee Jung-hoo's 160 billion won contract deal and stated that he was "surprised." He added, "When mentioning 160 billion won, it must be said correctly. Half of it must be paid as taxes."

It is not that he received nothing from his son. Lee Jong-beom revealed, "Jung-hoo bought a car and a watch for his father."

However, he emphasized that he does not share financial difficulties with Lee Jung-hoo nor make personal requests. He said, "I do not tell Jung-hoo about difficult matters," and added, "I absolutely never say things like, 'Please sign somewhere for me' or 'Do some events.'"

Having a famous son has made him more cautious in both his words and actions. Lee Jong-beom shared, "It has been 15 years since I retired. During my playing days, I was a superstar because I performed well, so I likely spoke loudly and made provocative statements." He continued, "But after retirement, I have become much quieter."

He further confessed, "Since my son is doing well, there are people who view whatever I say as jealousy or envy. Because everything I do is always viewed through a different lens, I am cautious about how to behave. That is the most difficult part."
