The earth village will be surprised.

There was a dizzying situation in which Kim Ye-ji (31, Imsil-gun Office), who was reborn as a 'world star', fainted during a press conference and recovered. Kim Ye-ji collapsed with convulsions during a press conference held at the Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province shooting range in Imsil-gun, Jeollabuk-do on the morning of the 9th.

Imsil-gun immediately called 119. Kim Ye-ji regained consciousness in 10 minutes, but was immediately transferred to Jeonju Daejain Hospital. Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be a big problem.

An official from the emergency medicine department at Jeonju Daejain Hospital told Yonhap News that "We need a break due to overwork."There were no abnormal findings on blood tests, CT tests, and X-rays." And "We need to stabilize in the future, and we will be able to leave the hospital sooner or later," he added.

It appears to be due to the 'murder schedule'. Kwak Min-soo, head coach of Imsil-gun's shooting team, said, `It is the first time Ye-ji has done this, and there is no chronic disease. I had a schedule since mid-July, and I think I was nervous as I got tired and there were a lot of reporters"The medical staff said there was no particular problem and advised me to sleep a lot and eat a lot."

Kim Ye-ji won a silver medal after Oh Ye-jin (19, IBK Industrial Bank) in the 10-meter final of the shooting air pistol at the 2024 Paris Olympics held at the shooting center in Chatoru, France on the 28th (Korea time).

Thanks to the `reverse driving footage,' it gained global attention. Kim Ye-ji shot 42 points in the 25m pistol event of the International Shooting Federation (ISSF) Shooting World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan, in May, winning the gold medal in a new world record. He shot his last shot with his hat on the back, and checked the target with a cold expression before checking the pistol lock.

Even when he set a new world record, he never showed a smile. The social media became buzzy at this appearance of a 'female warrior'. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said it would be cool if there was a shooting world champion in an action movie as well. You have to cast Kim Ye-ji in an action movie. There is no need for acting,' he praised.

Kim Ye-ji returned home with the shooting team on the 7th with a shining medal around her neck. He was 'Mother' of a five-year-old daughter 'Happy Yeji'.

Kim Ye-ji listed the names of the people she was thankful for and put a medal on her baby's neck, 'It's very heavy, right?I want to do ' There's only one person I'm thankful for. If I keep talking, I don't think I can go home," he said with a smile.

He also thanked Elon Musk for teaching me a lot of shooting. It's a lack of results, but I'm even more grateful for saying thank you to me and congratulating me a lot. I love you, really. Fighting shooting" "I was unexpectedly put in the limelight. I think it's thanks to Elon Musk rather than me. Thank you very much."

Kim Ye-ji received a report card saying she was eliminated from the finals in the 25m pistol event. He didn't actually shoot 0 points, but he couldn't finish shooting within 3 seconds, so he was treated as 0 points. But he was not discouraged.

"You must have expected a lot and cheered for us, but I think your disappointment must have grown because you gave us a 'big event'(0 points). Now, I'm thinking of preparing for the LA Olympics again (2026). I'll show you my hard work and I won't let you down then."

Kim Ye-ji's shooting life is just beginning. He "Even if there was a little depressing and hard work today, tomorrow's sun will rise again. One of the things that happened today will be happy. I just don't want what I'm doing to be too big. I think it would be nice if you fall asleep with just one good memory from the day"I can't read well. Reading makes me sleepy (laughs). I didn't read the quote separately, but I'm grateful that you were touched by what I said."
