Kim Ye Ji is a well-known Olympic shooter who gained considerable international attention when competing during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
She is now going to debut as an actress. Her agency, PLFIL, confirmed that Kim has landed a role in the upcoming short-form series Crush.
The show follows Asia and is based on the film featuring an international cast, focusing on the topics of racism and racial hatred. In the series, Kim will play the role of a killer alongside Indian actress Anushka Sen.
Crush's casting team described the killer-heroine as a "captivating killer" who effectively eliminates people. The CEO of PLFIL, Ryu Min Guk, seems confident about Kim's new role.
He believes that she will not only captivate the audience but also become a "huge gift" for her fans who supported her during the years she practiced sports.
"Kim is excited and nervous about her debut in Crush, but we believe she will captivate the audience just like she did on the shooting range," Ryu states.
Not much information on the show is available at this time, but a small teaser was released, and the fans are happy that their Olympic champion is not limiting herself to sports only.
She has already appeared in some photoshoots and TV shows after the Olympics, but Crush will mark her first role as an action actress.
The fans have quickly taken to social media, discussing the show and expressing that Kim will "be the best action star ever."
The release date of the series is not known yet.
Meanwhile, the South Korean shooting star is also in the headlines as a model in a meaningful photoshoot for Vogue Korea.
The new issue of Vogue Korea features the attractive South Korean actress in a set of casual outfits from the well-known Korean brand MLB Korea.
The emphasis in the pictures was placed on her toned abs, which she maintains through her exhausting daily training.
Users warmly received the shots, expressing their enthusiasm in the comments on social networks in which the work was shared. Another representative of her fans wrote, "Kim Ye Ji's character is well revealed due to the athletic build.
Oh, wow. She is so cool." A more concise response was left by another follower, "This Vogue photoshoot worked so, so well for her." Standing at a spectacular 5'1", the sportswoman paradoxically looks impressive in the photos.
The young athlete has unexplored prospects in the entertainment and fashion industry.
Even before the Olympics, Kim Ye Ji signed a contract with the entertainment company Awesome Entertainment, through which she will debut as an actress in an upcoming project.
After conquering the world of sports, she is now striving to make a similar impact in the entertainment and fashion industry.
