SYDNEY: The Australian dollar was enjoying the view near 19-month peaks on Wednesday after inflation data slowed much as expected and failed to move the dial on rate cuts, while its New Zealand counterpart touched the highest for the year so far.
It all began in June when a 19-second clip from a fan featuring Tigers cheerleader Lee Ju-eun showed up on YouTube. - SCREENGRAB FROM MY_CHUUU_UUUHC_YM/YOUTUBE
Such is the essence of the “Pikki Pikki dance”, a routine performed by the cheerleaders of the Gwangju-based KBO League’s Kia Tigers. The dance routine has been commonplace for some time in South Korea, where baseball is enjoying a resurgence in popularity thanks to a new generation of social media-savvy fans. Now, it is making ripples across the world, with TikTok influencers, pop stars and other sports teams joining in by posting their own renditions.
The 13-second clip, apparently filmed backstage after she wrapped up the first of her two concerts in South Korea, had already amassed over 14.3 million views as of Sept 23 afternoon, with many comments expressing disbelief that Rodrigo would partake in what was once a meme known only within South Korea.
In South Korean baseball, “cheer culture” is just as integral to the game as the sport itself. Fans sing personalised chants for each player and bang inflatable sticks together to create a lively atmosphere.
