Kim Ye-ji gets the role of an assassin, as was already hoped for during the Olympics.
The South Korean pistol shooter who delighted the spectators of the Paris Olympics Kim Ye-ji is starting a new territorial conquest in the television entertainment business. Asia Lab, an influential entertainment company in Seoul, announced on Friday that it has cast Kim as an assassin in its new series called Crush.
The acting role is the first of the 32-year-old Kim’s career.
Kim won silver in the women’s 10-meter air pistol at the Olympics and became a kind of internet phenomenon with her appearance. Kim competed in the Olympics wearing a baseball cap and special shooting glasses, and the shooter’s cool personality aroused admiration on social media.
– He should act in some action movie. No need to act, billionaire businessman Elon Musk wrote in his X service during the Games.
In August, Kim signed a contract with a South Korean talent agency. Since then, he has been involved in, for example, filming for the fashion house Louis Vuitton.
