The situation at the time of Lee Jung-hoo (28, San Francisco Giants), who was detained while entering the United States, was revealed in detail. Contrary to the original report, which was known as a simple happening, it was revealed that he had not entered the country for as many as four hours due to document problems, not one hour. Even his interpreter, Han Dong-hee, went back to Korea because of a problem.
Lee Jung-hoo attended the club's fan plague event in San Ramon, California, on the 25th (Korea Standard Time) and revealed the situation at the time of entry for the first time. "It wasn't an hour originally known, it was actually held at the airport for four hours," he said in an interview with local media such as the San Francisco Chronicle and The Monumental News.
"I've been busy for a few days, but I'm glad everything went well. He added, "Everything was solved well with the help of people around me, agents, and clubs."
Lee Jung-hoo was reportedly detained while entering the United States on the 22nd. On the 22nd, the San Francisco Giants issued an official statement in the name of general manager Jack Minasian, saying, "Lee Jung-hoo was briefly disrupted by a document problem at LAX Airport (Los Angeles International Airport). The issue was quickly resolved by the relevant authorities. After that, Lee Jung-hoo was able to enter the country safely. We would like to thank everyone involved for their professional efforts," he said.
"There was no political motive for the delay, and there were no contraband or illegal items in Lee Jung-hoo's luggage," Minasian said. Normally, Lee Jung-hoo will be able to participate in the scheduled Giants' fanfest event," he said.
The news of Lee Jung-hoo's detention was also a hot topic in the United States. Scott Boras, Lee Jung-hoo's U.S. agent, seems to have informed local media. Big media such as USA Today, the San Francisco Cleaner, and the New York Post all quickly broke this fact. According to the reports, all members of the San Francisco area, Giants clubs, and federal government officials came forward to quickly release Lee Jung-hoo, and it was resolved without problems.
In an interview on the 25th, Lee Jung-hoo did not disclose which documents were problematic. Lee Jung-hoo said, "All the documents are well prepared," adding, "There was nothing to worry about. I think there was just a communication error and it was a documentary problem," he said.
Han Dong-hee, who is in charge of interpreting Lee Jung-hoo, was delayed for about a week. Therefore, Brian Kang, another Korean employee of the club, was in charge of interpreting Lee Jung-hoo at the club event. An official familiar with the situation said, "Han Dong-hee went back to Korea from the U.S. due to problems during the entry process."
