Cheerleader Kim Yeon-jeong confessed that she liked her future husband Ha Joo-seok first.
On the 19th, a new video titled "future groom Hanwha Eagles Ha Joo-seok appears" was released on Kim Yeon-jeong's YouTube channel.
That day, guest Noh Si-hwan asked, "On some YouTube channel it was said your dating period was five years — do you remember the moment you first met?", and Ha Joo-seok said, "The period from when we first met until now is five years, but about twice? We broke up and went our separate ways."
Kim Yeon-jeong said, "To be honest, I returned to the Hanwha Eagles in 2017 and at the time I didn't know the Hanwha players well."
She continued, "It was a Gocheok game, and if you're on the third base side, you can move up to here on defense. At that time he was wearing a gray uniform and made a sliding catch. I said, 'Director General, who is that? Wow, he's cool.' I asked, 'Don't you know Ha Joo-seok?' It seems it hadn't been long since he returned after discharge. From then on, when asked if I had a favorite player on Hanwha, I would say, 'Ha Joo-seok is good at defense,' and I even said that in interviews."
Later, Kim Yeon-jeong received a backpack with Ha Joo-seok's jersey number on it as a gift, and in return for her thanks they arranged a meal. Kim Yeon-jeong laughed and said, "I liked him first."
Meanwhile, Ha Joo-seok entered the Hanwha Eagles as the overall first pick in the first round of the 2012 rookie draft. Kim Yeon-jeong, who debuted in 2007 as a cheerleader for Ulsan Mobiis Fever, was nicknamed "Kyungsung University Jeon Ji-hyun" for her resemblance to actress Jeon Ji-hyun, and drew attention as one of the "three goddesses of the ballpark" alongside Park Ki-ryang and Kang Yoon-i.
The two, after about five years of dating, are set to hold their wedding on Dec. 6.
