As rumors of a romantic relationship between Kiwoom Heroes outfielder Park Su-jong and LG Twins cheerleader Lee Joo-eun arise, cheerleader 'legend' Park Ki-ryang made a candid statement about dating players.
Park Ki-ryang revealed the unspoken taboos that are implicitly maintained among cheerleaders while appearing on SBS's entertainment program 'Dolsing Fourmen' which aired on the 22nd. When Lee Sang-min asked, 'Are there any rules that cheerleaders should follow?' Park Ki-ryang started by saying, 'There has been an unspoken rule among cheerleaders for a long time.'
She said, 'Dating players can cause harm to each other. Especially when the performance is poor, there also arises a perspective that blames cheerleaders,' and added, 'So I advise juniors not to date if possible.'
She continued, 'These days, there are many cases where athletes approach through direct messages (DM) via SNS,' explaining the ways players and fans make advances.
Park Ki-ryang's remarks have garnered attention in connection with the recent dating rumors of Lee Joo-eun and Park Su-jong.
Earlier on the 21st, couple photos presumed to be of Lee Joo-eun and Park Su-jong were released on online communities and SNS. In the photos, the two appeared affectionate, hugging and posing in heart shapes, and fans are showing great interest in their romance. However, both parties have yet to release an official stance.
Lee Joo-eun gained great popularity with the 'Bbi-ggi Bbi-ggi Dance' during her time with the KIA Tigers cheering squad, and she has signed a contract with the Fubon Guardians for 10 million Taiwanese dollars (approximately 440 million won). Since April, she has been active as a cheerleader for LG Twins.
Park Su-jong, born in 1999, is an outfielder belonging to the Kiwoom Heroes. He joined as a developmental player in 2022 and has been steadily active, being 5 years older than Lee Joo-eun.
The rumored romance between a popular cheerleader and a professional baseball player, coupled with the legend mentioning the industry's unspoken rules, continues to spark intense interest among fans regarding their relationship.
