Taiwan has platformed many South Korean-born cheerleaders, so much so that they’re now emerging multi-hyphenates. Last year, four cheerleaders for different baseball teams made their debut as a K-pop girl group based in Taiwan. On Friday, Lee A-young, one of the most popular, released her second Mandopop single just weeks after her first. In an exclusive interview, Lee told us what she wishes to convey with her new song. Let’s find out now.

In the music video, Lee A-young is turned into a fairy, sparker in hand. Then, she sports an office siren look, and a Japanese fox spirit with a kitsune mask. This is the Korean-born cheerleader’s second single.

Cheerleader
I’m diligently practicing singing and studying Mandarin. This is my present to everybody just before the Lunar New Year.

In less than a month, Lee has released two singles with very different themes.

The first is filled with familiar local Taiwanese elements, while the second takes on a more seductive note.

This song conveys the true self, free and authentic, and also very human. It’s not just me: many people have the experience of hitting rock-bottom in life. Sometimes, people wish they could escape the daily and mundane. In these moments, they can briefly escape and catch a breath, and in that moment, they can be who they truly are. I think what the song conveys is that it’s ok to just be yourself every now and then.

Lee isn’t the only Korean-born cheerleader building a multi-hyphenate portfolio. There’s also a girl group that debuted last year.

The four cheerleaders, An Ji-Hyun, Jo Yeon-Joo, Nam Min-Jeong and Park Min-Seo are 2S. They released a single last year. These young women are no longer just cheering on for others: they’re also becoming the main act.
