'Chic Sniper'Kim Ye-ji (Imsil County Office) is one of the best stars of this competition. She won the silver medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol after Oh Ye-jin (IBK Industrial Bank). `If you believe me, I will definitely win a medal in that Kim Ye-ji's 25-meter pistol,' said Kim Ye-ji, who was preparing for the next race, changing her life with a single SNS video. An X user shared a video of Kim Ye-ji's game with the text 'The most main character I've ever seen in my life. It was the scene of the 25m pistol match at the Baku World Cup in May, when Kim Ye-ji set a new world record.
In the video, Kim Ye-ji shot her last shot with her hat on the back, and after checking the target site with a cold expression, she checked the pistol lock. Soon after, he looked at the target site once again, sighed, and turned back. Even though he set a new world record, he never showed a smile. It looked like a 'female warrior' In addition, when Kim Ye-ji's usual appearance of wearing an elephant doll in the stadium was revealed, the interest became even hotter, adding the unexpected charm of 'Women who like cute dolls'.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and the owner of X, also joined. He wrote in an X that it would be cool if there was a shooting world champion in an action movie as well. We should also cast Kim Ye-ji in an action movie. There is no need for a delay,' he added. This was the catalyst for the Kim Ye-ji syndrome. The video led to tens of millions of views, and leading foreign media outlets such as CNN, Time, New York Post, Daily Mail, Glamour, and GQ introduced Kim Ye-ji.
Kim Ye-ji said, "At first, why did he...' I was perplexed by the idea that. He was so interested in sports that he left a lot of comments here and there. "I think shooting could gain some popularity thanks to Musk. So I really appreciate it." However, he firmly drew a line on Musk's transformation into an action actor. He said "I'm an athlete. I never thought of appearing in a movie. I'll do my best."

Kim Ye-ji wrapped up the Paris Olympics, but she has to spend a busier time. There are also broadcasts and various celebrations. I also have to reply to fans around the world who sent me messages on his SNS. There are bad comments, but he says "The popularity is a little real, but there's also a responsibility to follow. I should also be responsible for failing to keep what I said. The part that I shall bear..." he said dutifully. Shooting athlete Kim Ye-ji, not an SNS star, is dreaming of taking a leap forward through this Olympics. He `learned and felt a lot here. I think that will serve as a springboard for development"When I return to Korea, I will try hard to become a new Kim Ye-ji, not the old Kim Ye-ji. My challenge never stops.'
