Lee Ju-eun, the 22-year-old Korean cheerleader whose “Pik-i-Pik-i” outsong video has racked up 95.9 million views, will perform at the Formosa Braves’ home opener on Nov. 14, marking her first move from baseball stadiums to a professional basketball court in Taiwan, ETtoday reported.
The Taiwanese outlet, citing an official announcement from the Taipei-based club, said the Braves confirmed that Lee — a member of the Fubon Angels, the cheer squad of the Fubon Guardians of Taiwan’s professional baseball league — has officially joined the team’s support effort for the new season. STARNEWS reported that local media expect her arrival to add major drawing power to the opening-week crowd.
From KBO Stands to the P. League+ Court
Lee spent the 2024 season cheering for the KIA Tigers of the Korea Baseball Organization before her viral performance turned her into one of the most recognizable faces in Korean sports entertainment. She later moved to Taiwan, where she has built a celebrity-level following, and spent time with the LG Twins while splitting her schedule between the two countries. This season, she is focusing exclusively on Taiwan, according to STARNEWS.
With the baseball season now closed, she is widening her range into winter sports. The Fubon Angels announced on social media that their squad has prepared a special halftime show for the Braves’ home-opening week, urging fans not to leave their seats during breaks and to charge their phones and cameras to capture the moments.
The Numbers Behind Her Rise
The video that made her name — the “Pik-i-Pik-i” outsong routine filmed during her time with the KIA Tigers — now stands at 95.9 million views, just shy of the 100 million mark. Her move to Taiwan has only amplified the attention: her Instagram following has climbed to 1.33 million since her arrival, the reports said.
Taiwanese media have described her as a top “draw” at the ballpark, crediting her striking appearance and signature smile with quickly making her a fixture of the stadium experience.
Five Korean Cheerleaders on Stage Nov. 14
Lee will not perform alone. She will take the court alongside four other Korean cheerleaders with domestic sports experience — Lee Ah-young, Nam Min-jeong, Lee Ho-jeong and Park Seon-eun — forming a five-member Korean unit for the Braves’ home opener. ETtoday predicted that ticket demand for the game would be intense given the lineup, and media reports said the combined dance performance is expected to be one of the biggest talking points of the new season’s opening game.
In a message relayed through media, Lee said she is counting down the days until she meets Braves fans and hopes to share her energy and passion with everyone supporting the team during the Nov. 14-15 opening week.
What Taiwanese Fans Can Expect
The Braves’ cheer presentation is scheduled for the home opener on Nov. 14, with the opening week extending through Nov. 15. The Fubon Angels teased a “special and surprising halftime performance” in their social media post, without detailing the routine. For fans planning to attend, the squad’s message was direct: stay in your seat during the break and bring a charged phone.
