As dating rumors between Kiwoom Heroes' Park Soo-jong and cheerleader Lee Joo-eun have surfaced, the comments from cheerleading 'legend' Park Ki-ryang have caught attention.
On the 22nd, the SBS entertainment program 'Dolsing Po Man' aired a matchmaking special featuring Choi Jin-hyuk, Lee Joo-yeon, Park Ki-ryang, and Shin Gu-jin.
During the broadcast, Park Ki-ryang responded to the question, "Is there a 'cheerleader taboo' against dating athletes?" by stating, "There has been an unspoken rule among cheerleaders that they do not date athletes."
She continued, "When meeting athletes, there can be mutual harm. If the athletes perform poorly, there can be blame directed at the cheerleaders. That's why I often tell my juniors not to date."
Hearing this, Lim Won-hee expressed curiosity, asking, "Don't you get approached? For example, how do spectators or athletes make their moves?" Park Ki-ryang replied, "These days, with the development of social media, I think they often reach out via DMs."
Park Ki-ryang's comments on 'cheerleader taboos' have garnered interest in light of the recent dating rumors between Park Soo-jong and Lee Joo-eun. The two became embroiled in dating rumors after a 'four-cut photo' circulated on online communities and social media on the 21st. Both parties have yet to comment on the dating rumors.
