The South Korean athlete of Kim Yeji, whose craftsmanship and cool style stole the impressions during them, acquired her first role in acting – and she will play a murderer. The 32-year-old won the silver medal in shooting and specifically in the women’s 10 metres airgun in July but beyond her athletic skill, she won the internet with her loose style combined with the wire shooting glasses and the fashionable baseball hat. She was rightly considered the “most cool” athlete of the Olympic Games in Paris and now it is time for a… turn to acting. Her videos went around the internet and gained fanatical fans, such as Elon Musk: “He should play in an action film. No acting required!” Musk had then written on the social networking platform And there she… fell in. Now, Kim Yeji will play a murderer in “Crush, ” a spinoff short series of “Asia”, as she told the AFP a representative of the Seoul-based entertainment company Asia Lab. Kim Yeji will star along with Indian actress and influencer Anushka Sen, the company said in a separate statement, saying she is excited to watch “the potential synergy that will arise from Kim Yeji’s new transformation and Anushka Sen into a murderous duo.” Since winning the silver medal, a short clip showing Kim at the Baku World Cup last May has become viral, she has acquired thousands of fans, while countless memes are online. As the Guardian reports, after the Olympic games, the 32-year-old athlete signed with a South Korean talent agency in August and was photographed in Louis Vuitton’s clothes.
