Viral Olympic Shooter Kim Ye Ji Shows Off New Appearance…But Netizens Have One Concern

Recently, she appeared on JTBC‘s News Room sporting a whole new look! Rocking a suit and a new hair color, she looks cooler than ever.
However, netizens are taking issue with JTBC’s reference to Kim Ye Ji’s era before her viral fame as her “unknown days.”
How did she spend her ‘long unknown days?’
— JTBC
As an athlete who has been training for years (not a celebrity who just debuted), some netizens feel the phrasing is insensitive.
- “But is it really appropriate to use the term “unknown” for an athlete? It’s not like they’re a celebrity who needs to appeal to the public.”
- “She’s cool.”
- “Wow, she’s cool.”
- “I’ve watched various sports for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone say an athlete is ‘unknown.'”
- “Why would you call an athlete ‘unknown?'”
As expected, there were also many comments praising Kim Ye Ji for her charisma! There was a slew of comments left by netizens saying compliments like “unnie,” “I love you,” and “She’s so cool.”
We can’t blame them! Check out more below.
