TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Passion Sisters, the professional cheerleading squad for Taiwan's CTBC Brothers baseball team (中信兄弟), announced Thursday (July 24) the exciting addition of two experienced South Korean performers, Kim Doa (金渡兒) and JJUBI. This strategic recruitment expands the team's international roster and reflects the growing cross-cultural collaboration within Taiwan's professional baseball entertainment industry. The announcement has generated significant enthusiasm among local baseball fans eager to witness enhanced performances.
Both performers bring extensive experience from Korea's professional baseball circuit to Taiwan's entertainment landscape. Kim Doa launched her cheerleading career in 2018 and currently performs with the prestigious SSG Landers organization. Her impressive resume includes representing South Korea's national baseball team during the 2023 Asian Champions Tournament and supporting major league baseball's historic Seoul overseas games last year.
JJUBI brings equally impressive credentials, having previously performed for both the Lotte Giants and NC Dinos professional teams in Korea. She demonstrated her support for Taiwan's baseball ambitions by cheering for the national team during this year's World Baseball Classic qualifying rounds. The CTBC Brothers now boast a complete quartet of South Korean talent, featuring Kim Doa, JJUBI, Lee Dan-bi (李丹妃), and Byun Ha-yul (邊荷律), collectively known as the "Korean Four Pillars".
The CTBC Brothers now join an elite group of Taiwan professional baseball teams embracing Korean talent, including the Fubon Guardians (富邦悍將), Rakuten Monkeys (樂天桃猿), Wei Chuan Dragons (味全龍), and Uni-President Lions (統一獅隊). Each organization has successfully established their own "Korean Four Pillars" cheerleading formations, creating a league-wide phenomenon. This strategic trend underscores the increasing international collaboration within Taiwan's baseball entertainment industry, promising fans an exceptionally dynamic and culturally diverse season ahead. ◼
