Korean Silver-Medalist Shooter Goes Viral For Her Total “Bad*ss” Vibes
A female sports shooter has stolen the hearts of South Koreans with her next-level charisma!
Kim Ye Ji, born in 1992, won the silver medal in the women’s 10-meter air pistol tournament, beating the bronze medal winner, Manu Bhaker of India, with a score difference of only 0.1 point.
The breathtaking moment of Kim shooting the winning shot has since gone mega-viral…
공기권총 2위 선수랑 0.1점 차이나는 상황에서
10.5를 쏴야 올라갈 수 있었는데 정말 10.5 쏘고

Please look at this. Kim was 0.1 point behind the second place air pistol shooter, so she had to shoot a 10.5 to move up. She then does shoot an exact 10.5 and secures the silver medal.

…for her skill, charisma, and absolute “girl crush” visuals.
A clip from her previous world record-breaking game at the 2024 ISSF World Cup in Azerbaijan also gained tremendous attention online.
One online comment said, “This girl needs her own anime just because of that badass stance alone,” summing up the craze building around her absolute composure under pressure.

Off the range, though, Kim is a different personality. The duality is only making Koreans fall deeper in love with her.
많은 분들이 사격에 관심을 보여주고 사랑해주고 해줬으면 좋겠다고 하는데..냅다 화면 쳐다보더니 우리도 올림픽 메달 딸 수 있댘ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I hope more people would become interested in sports shooting and fall in love with it, so that more people could even pursue it. That’s how we’ll keep discovering superstars like Oh Ye Jin and win more medals! Remember, you, too, can win an Olympic medal!
