Shen Yu-lin playfully declares love for cheerleader Li Ya-ying, welcomes Korean stars

Taiwanese variety show host Shen Yu-lin recently welcomed popular South Korean cheerleaders Cui Hong-luo and Park Dam-bi onto the set of the program "Fighting Time." The cheerleaders, part of a group known as the "Four Emperors of the Yankees" in Taiwan, showed their support for Shen by presenting him with celebratory poppers, flowers, and a banner welcoming his strong comeback.

Don't have unrealistic fantasies about me!

Shen Yu-lin, often called the "Midas touch of cheerleaders" in Taiwan's entertainment scene, has a reputation for bestowing catchy nicknames on Korean cheerleaders, including Li Ya-ying ("A-yong"), Ha Ji-won ("Flower Squid"), Kim Do-eul ("Desk"), and An Ji-hyeon ("Press It"). Upon seeing a display of cheerleaders' nameplates, Shen playfully wrote "Lover & Wife" next to a photo of Li Ya-ying, jokingly telling the audience not to have unrealistic fantasies about him.

Everyone, hello, I am Three-to-Eight!

Embracing his "godfather" persona, Shen then bestowed down-to-earth Taiwanese nicknames on the visiting cheerleaders. Park Dam-bi, whose name is difficult to pronounce, was nicknamed "Three-to-Eight" due to her tall and slender figure, and was taught to introduce herself in Taiwanese Hokkien. Cui Hong-luo, dubbed the "Cheerleader IU," received the nickname "Blowing Wind" because her Korean name sounds similar to the Hokkien phrase, a moniker Shen suggested could lead to appliance endorsements.

Ya-ying, don't go~

The cheerleaders attempted to test Shen's knowledge of Korean animal sounds with Taiwanese Hokkien jokes, but Shen, the "Master of Absurdity," turned the tables by demonstrating how to create "variety show effects" with laughter and exaggerated movements. Later, as a treat for Shen, who had recently recovered from an illness, the cheerleaders took him to a high-end massage parlor. While lying on the massage chair, Shen dreamily called out, "Ya-ying, don't go~". He then turned the tables, putting the cheerleaders onto massage chairs for an authentic Taiwanese foot massage. Park Dam-bi endured the pain with Hokkien cheers, while Cui Hong-luo playfully exclaimed about the masseuse's strength.
