After gaining explosive attention with "Piki Piki," cheerleader Lee Ju-eun (22) has entered the Taiwanese market and is enjoying celebrity-level popularity. She is now shifting her stage to the basketball court. Local media in Taiwan are already building anticipation for Lee's winter activities.

Taiwanese outlet ET Today reported on the 4th, citing an announcement from the Taipei Fubon Braves organization, that "the highly popular cheerleader goddess 'Jujube Baby' Lee Ju-eun has officially joined the new season and will inject the strongest power into the Braves cheering squad," according to the report.

Lee Ju-eun, who was active as a KIA Tigers cheerleader in 2024, garnered explosive attention when her out-song video "Piki Piki" went viral. The video currently has 95.9 million views and is on the verge of reaching 100 million.

She subsequently signed a contract with a large signing bonus to enter the Taiwanese market. The following year, she moved to the LG Twins and concurrently pursued cheerleading activities both domestically and internationally, but this season she is focusing solely on her activities in Taiwan.

Lee Ju-eun, who belongs to the Fubon Angels cheerleading team of the Fubon Guardians, is expanding her scope to winter sports as the baseball season comes to a close.

The Fubon Angels promoted via their official social networking service (SNS), asking, "Are you ready to welcome the most dazzling Warriors home opening week?" and stating, "The angels have prepared a particularly amazing halftime show. Please do not leave your seats during the break. Charge your phones and cameras. Let's save the most brilliant moments together."

ET Today reported that Lee is scheduled to take the stage alongside the Fubon Angels' "Korean Quintet" at the Fubon Braves home opening game on the 14th, predicting a surge in ticket sales among fans.

The outlet explained, "Lee Ju-eun has rapidly gained sweeping popularity in Taiwan with her striking appearance and unique sweet smile, establishing herself as the ultimate 'attraction' of the stadium." It added, "In the new season, she will make her debut on the professional basketball stage for the first time. As a member of the Fubon Angels, she will cross over sports to cheer for the Fubon Braves. The organization expects her strong stage presence to add more spectacle to the Braves' home arena."

Lee Ju-eun, who has been active as a cheerleader in domestic sports, will perform at the Fubon Braves home opening game on the 14th alongside Lee Ah-young, Nam Min-jung, Lee Ho-jeong, and Park Seong-eun, forming a quintet of Korean cheerleaders.

The outlet focused on this combination of five, expressing anticipation that "the joint dance performance by the five popular goddesses will undoubtedly be the biggest topic of the new season opening game."

Lee Ju-eun, whose Instagram followers have surged to 1.33 million amid explosive attention following her move to Taiwan, also shared her excitement. According to the outlet, Lee left a message saying, "I am so looking forward to meeting the Braves fans." She continued, "I hope we can make good memories together at the stadium, and I want to convey my overflowing energy and passion to all fans who support the Braves. See you during the Braves opening week on November 14 and 15."
