A new star has emerged at the Olympic Games — Korean Yeji Kim, who has conquered the Internet with her charisma and aesthetic pistol skills. The girl literally blew up social networks, becoming an object of admiration for millions of users.
Last weekend, 31-year-old Korean athlete Kim Yeji made her debut at the shooting range in Chateauroux. A white cap with the South Korean flag, a black Fila windbreaker and Sauer boots — her fans compare this look to a cyberpunk killer from an anime. During her performances, the athlete wears a plush elephant with a towel on her belt — a toy of her five-year-old daughter.
Kim Yeji was first discovered on the Internet in 2023 after a video from the International Shooting Federation Cup in Baku was published.
Now her photos and videos are literally blowing up the Internet: fans are making art with the athlete's image, and GQ has published an entire article with her.
The girl is also called the new "John Wick".
