Super Sharp Shooter

Kim Ye-ji trades the range for the big screen, redefining what it means to be an icon.

Kim Ye-ji, South Korea’s silver medal-winning air pistol shooter from the Paris Olympics, is swapping the range for the big screen. Known for her sci-fi-inspired style, ice-cool composure, and effortless “main character” energy, Kim captivated the internet during the games. Dressed in sleek all-black with a casual hand-in-pocket stance, she became an instant icon , more action hero than athlete.

Her striking presence and quiet confidence went viral, earning her fans worldwide and catching the attention of filmmakers. Now, she’s set to channel that energy into her acting debut as a movie assassin. It’s the kind of role that feels like it was written with her in mind.

This isn’t just a career pivot; it’s a statement. Kim is proof that the boundaries between sport, style, and storytelling are blurring. Athletes are stepping into new arenas and redefining what it means to be a modern icon.
