I felt bad about Yang Jun-hyuk's retirement, but Lee Jong-beom was truly absurd

In 2010, as Yang Jun-hyuk was appearing sporadically as a platoon player or a pinch hitter,
he personally thought that he couldn't go on much longer. After hearing from the front office that the manager had no intention of using him anymore,
he said, "Then I will play only until this season."
Even though it was bittersweet, he had a grand retirement ceremony and retired with a sense of closure.
But Lee Jong-beom participated in all the 2012 exhibition games
and then retired right before the regular season started. What kind of behavior is that?
If he was going to do that, he should have announced it at the finishing camp after the 2011 season so he could retire then,
or he should have played through the 2012 season and had a grand retirement ceremony to wrap things up..
I remember everyone being stunned when he announced his retirement right as the season was starting, after he had already played through all the exhibition games.
I am not an Lee Jong-beom fan. In fact, he was one of the players I really disliked.
But even so, you shouldn't treat him that way just because he's considered a KBO legend.
It's not like some unknown player who was bouncing between the first and second tiers was suddenly retiring.
