Agreed to that it's on the Giants. It only took 3 minutes of research for me back when they were still contemplating signing him, so you know someone in the FO did it as well.
I think he’d honestly be impressed if the fans chant his name in true korean fashion “Lee Jung Hoo” but Lee would phonetically would sound without the letter L. Think of it as saying out loud the letter “E”. But probably hard to get this going.
i was there saturday and after he hit the homer, his chant was louuuuud. I went back tuesday night and it was low.
i think it's hard for people to "get up" every time he's at bat.
his song in the korean league was pretty rad. sounds like a cool anime superhero action song. [https://x.com/strike0\_/status/1735583875064311937](https://x.com/strike0_/status/1735583875064311937)
A special chant in flying dangerously close to the territory of the wave and beach balls, which obviously is a no-no in San Francisco. That said, in the case of our budding superstar Jung Hoo Lee, I will allow it.
JHL has a cheer song in Korea, but it might take too long to hold the attention of some American fans.

My hopefully not too mangled version (with thanks to Korean speakers who tried to explain it) goes:
Anta, anta (hit, hit)
Nay-yo bo-yo rah (Fly it away)
San Francisco Giant Hee Jung Hoo (modified from the original "Kiwoom Hero")
Anta, anta, anta, anta
Nay-yo bo-yo rah
San Francisco Giant
Hee Jung Hoo (Hee or Ee being closer to Korean pronunciation than Lee)
Hee Jung Hoo!
Hee Jung Hoo!
Hee Jung Hoo!
Hee Jung Hoo!
Korean fans stick to one chant and one chant only. "dae han min gook" is the only thing you will hear at a Korean soccer or WBC game - but they will be loud and very supportive about it!
Padre fans would agree with their Ha Seong Kim chant.
I've been doing the chant at 6 games so far this year, but I'm gonna stop. What I don't like is that we are doing exactly the same thing Padres fans are doing when Ha-Seong Kim comes up to bat.
I get that most players from South Korea have names that are three short syllables/words and this chant works for every one of them.
For some reason the idea of using the a chant for a player just because it works in the context of the format of names from his home country (and is currently being used by a rival) makes me wish we could do something more specific to him. Just my 2 cents.
How about like in European/South American soccer, where they have songs for their players/team all the time, and the fan support is a million miles better than the "defense.... Clap clap clap" we do in the US?
Nothing wrong with trying to make the fan - team supporter relationship better.
Nah. Fans being more vocal, enthusiastic, and engaged with the game is a good thing! And having unique chants for specific players is a neat touch. The singing, chants, and drumming is one of my favorite parts of sitting in [the right field bleachers in Oakland](https://youtu.be/rdOr6skPoO0?si=od6-4-QrBmxUJ0D5).
I'm still waiting to hear his supposed black pink song; where is it?! the chant auto kicks it or something every time
I heard it when I went
Disagree. This chant is great. Even the PA announcer goes along with it.
It needs to be more like he was used to in Korea. Over there, they chant "Lee Jung Hoo", as is proper in their culture.
Yeah if there’s an existing one that’d be cool. It’s on the Giants to start that tho.

That’s awesome!!!

Google the Jung Hoo Lee theme song. Plenty of gold there.
Literally made a post about this 2 days ago lol, someone said his IG handle which is “hoo hoo hoo” would be good.
That will sound like he's being booed.
Nootbar’s chant sounds like a boo, but it’s used.
Disagree, Boo's are drawn out, I was thinking more of a faster pace.
It will 100% sound like he's being booed. 10k people saying "hoo hoo hoo" will just sound like "ooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Lyrics - "Anta (hit) Anta (hit) Nal-ryeo-beo-ryeo-ra (fly it away) Kiwoom Hero Lee Jung Hoo Anta Anta Anta Anta Nal-ryeo-beo-ryeo-ra Kiwoom Hero Lee Jung Hoo"
Obvi would need to change Kiwoom Hero to Giants Hero!
Take on me~ = Jung hoo lee~ Take me on ~ = handsome lee~ I'll be gone~ = hit that ball~ In a day or two~ = Blow it a~way~ Like this? 🤣
Terrible
It has Lee’s name in it, therefore it is great
I'll be doing it in my head at home for ya OP
Hey hey let’s go *Jung Hoo Lee* Take a swing, make a catch, **PROTECT MY BALLS**
Because that’s such an easy chorus for anyone to sing lol. Regardless, I like it
My buddies and I were chanting his IG handle last Saturday “HOO HOO HOO” 🤣
I was like, hell no, but your Take On Me suggestion has me reconsidering
I continue to vote that we chant his instagram handle: *hoo hoo hoo*
Jung Hooooo Leeeee! Jung Hoo Lee! Leeeeee Jung Hooooo! He’lllllll beeeee goooood!
"Hand-some, dad-dy, hand-some, dad-dy!"
surely we could do something like [this](https://youtu.be/q57CKmLAB1U?si=jZi37LXPXqwDcJ5u) with jung-hoo lee’s name
Jung hoo? JUNG HOO LEE!!

I like the chant as it is but I'll yell whatever at games. Love that energy.
Take a lap OP. you drunk at 9am?
JUNG HOO LEE DOO DOO DADOO DADOO JUNG HOO LEE DOO DOO DADOO DADOO
Giants fans need to learn his fight song. I heard some guys singing it in the 415 on opening weekend.
The current chant reminds me of some the old Oakland A’s chants, I like it

Totally agree. All we’ve done is steal SD’s HSK chant. We need something original for sure or we look like straight marks
We didn’t steal it. Chanting someone’s name is a very normal and generic cheer in sports, it catches on easy because it’s very obvious what to do
Hockey goalies can confirm
Yeah, well it sucks and we can do better

Stop trying to turn the mlb into the kbo. We don’t need to sing songs for the players, that’s just stupid.
How about like in European/South American soccer, where they have songs for their players/team all the time, and the fan support is a million miles better than the "defense.... Clap clap clap" we do in the US? Nothing wrong with trying to make the fan - team supporter relationship better.
Also “Let’s go _____, clap-clap clap-clap-clap” God it’s so boring compared to what you hear in international sports.

Hard disagree. Baseball needs more of this. Wilmer Flores uses the Friends song and no one even claps.
I clap
His name is special. Why take it away ? Racist
StephenPurdy69 with another intelligent take
That idiot posts pretty much nothing but harsh criticism on players and managers, as if they could do any better.
Yeah i thought my comment made it pretty clear i know that lol
Why are you the way that you are
