Singer Lee Mi-joo quickly dismissed the dating rumors with baseball player Lee Jin-young. Known as the 'victory fairy' of the Hanwha Eagles, he denied the dating rumors while also conveying the energy of victory to his team.
Reports emerged on the 25th that Lee Mi-joo and Hanwha Eagles outfielder Lee Jin-young were in a relationship. It was noted that a lighting prop revealed by Lee Mi-joo in recent YouTube content resembled the lighting present in Lee Jin-young's social media. Furthermore, Lee Mi-joo and her family are long-time fans of the Hanwha Eagles, and the fact that she has pitched several times added to the speculation.
However, Lee Mi-joo's agency, Antenna, immediately refuted the claims. They stated, "The dating rumors are unfounded," officially correcting the misinformation circulating online. Although Lee Mi-joo has experience in public relationships, she responded decisively to the false dating rumors.
Lee Mi-joo acknowledged her relationship with soccer player Song Beom-keun last year, marking her first public relationship, but they broke up in January of this year after about nine months. This dating rumor surfaced roughly six months after their breakup, but it was quickly resolved as an incident.
Lee Jin-young, the subject of the dating rumors, did not participate in the game that day. However, the Hanwha Eagles, the team he belongs to, achieved a resounding 4-0 victory in a home game against the SSG Landers at Hanwha Life Eagles Park in Daejeon on the 25th. Starting pitcher Ryan Weiss recorded 10 strikeouts over 7 innings without conceding a run, securing his 11th win of the season and solidifying the team's position at the top.
Hailing from Okcheon, Chungbuk, Lee Mi-joo is a die-hard fan of the Hanwha Eagles. She previously boasted on air, "I have pitched about three times. Since I’m a Hanwha fan, I only went to Hanwha three times. Every time I went, they won, so I earned the nickname 'victory fairy.'"
Although her relationship with Lee Jin-young was not true, Lee Mi-joo successfully conveyed her winning energy to the Hanwha Eagles.
