'Bikibiki Cheerleader' Lee Ju-eun has been at the center of attention.
Born in 2004, Lee Ju-eun is a cheerleader for the KIA Tigers and led the 'Bikibiki' cheering craze last year. Thanks to this, after the season ended, she successfully signed a contract with Taiwan's Fubon Sports & Entertainment, which sparked discussions about the contract amount of 10 million Taiwan dollars (approximately 440 million won) being more expensive than the players' market value. Currently, she is actively participating as a cheerleader for the LG Twins on the domestic stage.
However, last month, Lee Ju-eun suddenly cried while cheerleading at the Taoyuan stadium in Taiwan, raising concerns among fans. While she cheerfully cheered early in the game, she suddenly covered her face and wiped her tears right after the second inning. Fans expressed their confusion and concern about her psychological and health status.
In response, the club stated, 'An eyelash got in her eye, and she cried while fixing her makeup,' adding, 'She was not feeling well afterward, but continued cheering until the end.' However, shortly after, Lee Ju-eun cut her long hair into a bob, raising fans' curiosity about the change in her feelings.
In the meantime, Lee Ju-eun has become embroiled in dating rumors. Recently posted life cut photos on online communities show her with a person presumed to be Park Soo-jong, an outfielder for the Kiwoom Heroes. In the photos, the two are posing affectionately, creating a romantic atmosphere, which quickly fueled the dating rumors.
Although neither side has officially commented, there is heated interest in the meeting between a popular cheerleader and a professional baseball player.
Meanwhile, Park Soo-jong, who is the subject of the dating rumors with Lee Ju-eun, was born in 1999 and joined the Kiwoom Heroes as a training player in 2022. His annual salary is reported to be 45 million won.
