Popular cheerleader Lee Joo-eun (21) and professional baseball player Park Soo-jong (26) of the Kiwoom Heroes have been rumored to be dating.
On the 21st, a four-cut photo believed to be of Lee Joo-eun and Park Soo-jong was shared on various online communities and social networking services (SNS).
In the photo, Lee Joo-eun is seen giving Park Soo-jong a back hug and making heart poses, showing a sweet couple's appearance.
As Lee Joo-eun is a cheerleader who is also active in Taiwan and enjoys great popularity, the photo has spread in Taiwanese communities, garnering interest from local fans.
Both parties have not yet commented on the photo.
Lee Joo-eun gained fame last year while performing with the KIA Tigers cheerleading squad, heating up baseball stadiums nationwide with her cheering performance called the ‘Bikibiki Dance’.
A video capturing her getting up to dance whenever music played while fixing her makeup in the cheering section recorded over 100 million views worldwide, and foreign media also featured it.
After transferring to the Taiwanese professional baseball team Fubon Guardians, Lee Joo-eun announced her joining the LG Twins this April, actively working between Korea and Taiwan.
Park Soo-jong, an outfielder from Chungam High School and Kyungsung University, joined Kiwoom as a training player in 2022. This season, he has played in 29 games, recording 6 hits in 39 at-bats with a batting average of 0.154 and 1 home run.
