Korean Silver-Medalist Shooter Goes Viral For Her Total “Bad*ss” Vibes
The Korea Shooting Federation provided multiple photos of the “Young Ye Ji” from 2010. She carried the same fierceness in her pistol…
…but less in an action movie villain shell, and more in a cutie patootie one.
As the high school photos began circulating online, Koreans commented that Kim Ye Ji “must have been undeniably popular” back in the days and agreed that she was born to be a star.
- “She has that actress aura, no?”
- “I bet she was the most popular girl to all the girls, haha.”
- “Born to attract women, LOL.”
- “She reminds me of Kang Dong Won.”
- “You know how popular kids like her were back in school. Damn, she was born cool!”
- “I think she looks like Jeon Do Yeon.”
- “You can tell her personality hasn’t changed, though. She looks like a cheeky little thing. Haha.”
- “I went to a high school with a shooting club, too, and people like here were f*cking popular.”
- “So cool, unnie.”
- “UNNIE T_T”
- “She’ll probably have fangirls at her feet for the rest of her life.”
- “So good-looking…”
