On October, the Korean Basketball League opened and poured in new cheerleaders. Above all, Incheon Electroland Elephants' cheerleader team Pom-pom's Lee Joo-hee caught fans' eyes.

Lee Joo-hee is said to have be a celebrity-in-training before she made her debut as a cheerleader. Her experience as a celeb-to-be has helped her in preparation to become a cheerleader.

Aged 24-years-old, she's 170㎝ tall with a slender body. However she appears young, and some fans have already dubbed her a 'bagle girl' (a wordplay on the words baby face and glamour, referring to someone with a cute face and a curvy body). As soon as she appeared on court, countless fans popped up on social media, cheering her on.

To her photos of her daily life and cheerleading life, fans responded "I'm an Electroland fan from now on" "She's so cute! I'll cheer her on" "I saw her with my own bare eyes and my heart almost stopped."
