Meet the Hoo Lee Gans!

  • Jung Hoo Lee joined the San Francisco Giants before the 2024 season under a six-year, $113 million contract and has developed a strong following at Oracle Park.
  • Lee's rookie MLB season was cut short by injury, but his prior success in South Korea and his speed contributed to growing fan interest and support.
  • The Hoo Lee Gans, a group of nearly 200 die-hard Giants fans inspired by Lee, began as a discussion among friends and has since expanded with global recognition.
  • Kyle Smeallie, the lead organizer, noted that he started the initiative about a month ago and it has rapidly gained momentum, while Lee expressed that this group inspires him daily to give his best effort on the field.
  • The fan movement and Lee's performance have led to increased enthusiasm among Giants supporters and mirror past fan embraces of Korean players like Ha-seong Kim.
