It all began in June when a 19-second clip from a fan featuring Tigers cheerleader Lee Ju-eun showed up on YouTube. - SCREENGRAB FROM MY_CHUUU_UUUHC_YM/YOUTUBE
SEOUL: In the middle of a bustling ball game, a cheerleader casually fixes her make-up, seemingly preoccupied and unbothered – until a catchy beat suddenly brings her to her feet. She seamlessly launches into a dance routine, swivelling and swinging her thumb up and down to the bouncy, squeaky rhythm.
This is not your typical cheerleading performance full of energy and acrobatics. Instead, the cheerleader maintains a cool, nonchalant expression as she throws her elbow up in place. The transition from touch-up to dance is exceptionally smooth, as if nothing out of the ordinary has occurred.
