At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, there were several individuals who stood out not only for their skill in their disciplines but also for their distinctive styles or personalities when carrying out their performances in each discipline. Such was the case of Kim Ye-Ji, the South Korean shooter who captured attention for her posture and overall style when shooting.
There were not a few, even X's own owner, Elon Musk, who asked on social media for Ye-Ji to be given a role in some fiction and now the desire of that crowd would be about to come true.
Where will Kim Ye-Ji, the South Korean shooter who was a sensation at Paris 2024, perform next?
According to various international media outlets, the athlete will co-star in "Crush," a spin-off of "Asia," a movie about a hitwoman played by Indian star Anushka Sen.
Apparently, in a sneak peek of the project, Ye-ji joins the protagonist to play a duo of female assassins. With a very different look from her competitive moments, she is seen improving Sen's character's shooting posture with her characteristic seriousness. "Coming soon," completes the brief announcement.
The South Korean shooter, with her precision glasses, visor flipped back, hand in her pocket, and her face slightly resting on her raised arm, went viral during her participation in the Paris Olympics, where she won the silver medal in compressed air shooting from 10 meters away.
Beyond this new job, the athlete, who is also a gold medalist in the World Shooting Championship in the 25-meter pistol event, has already stated that she will continue to be active in sports: “My goal is the World Championships next year, the Asian Games two years later, and then, in four years, the Los Angeles Olympics. I want to surpass myself on each occasion. I only have myself as a goal.”
