Meet Kim Yeji, The viral South Korean pistol #olympian #shooter with cyberpunk #glasses
South Korean shooter Kim Yeji went viral at the 2024 Paris Olympics for her cool demeanor and unusual glasses.

South Korean pistol shooter Kim Yeji has become a viral sensation at the 2024 Paris Olympics, captivating viewers with her cool demeanor and striking eyewear. While details about her personal life remain scarce, we know that this 31-year-old athlete hails from Imsil County and has already made her mark in the sport.

The unusual glasses that Kim Yeji sports, along with many other professional shooters, may look like something out of a cyberpunk movie, but they serve a practical purpose. These glasses help shooters focus, block distractions, and maintain a sharp view of the target.

The glasses consist of a lens over the dominant eye, a mechanical iris to adjust depth of field, and blinders to eliminate peripheral vision. This specialized eyewear enhances focus and accuracy, making them essential for competitive shooting.

While Kim Yeji's glasses may not become a fashion trend due to their specific purpose, they've certainly made her a standout figure at the Olympics. As the world learns more about this talented athlete, it's clear that her cool demeanor and unique style are only part of what makes her a rising star in the world of shooting.

Her elephant is a gift from her daughter 💕

[MiloBearLuv]

I love her, Kim Yeji is sooo cool. Her appearance and aura amazes me . Like to see her in movies

[madartzgraphics]

Korea sent a kpop idol,
Turkey sent a hitman. 😂😂😅😅

[ryescooker]

it's crazy that people keep on comparing the turkish shooter with the south korean shooter when they're both uniquely great at the sport. not to mention, both had different categories. the turkish man was competing in 10m (olympics) while the south korean woman was in 25m (issf. although she also competed in the olympics, she went viral for her play in the issf). it's somehow frustrating that some people can't just celebrate both athletes. back to the video though, with or without gear, breaking a world record while being that nonchalant is indeed main character energy.

I can already see an anime being created for this sport

[pachaxshermon]

The Turkish guy is the real one. Think about doing something like that in age 51. His both eyes were open when shooting and did you guys saw how close the bullet to the bullseye. Damn.This is the reality: experience always comes into play. No matter what, when you meet a person with experience, they outshine everyone else.

[oliviakim]

Wearing a bracelet when playing a video game at home bothers me yet she is with this huge dangling elephant towel in Olympics for her daughter. Respect.

[-xo]

How childish the commenters are comparing two accomplished individuals and turning it into coolness competition

[dhj]

"I'm your huckleberry....that's just my game" vibes 😊

[TubeSurfer]

Ooo is this the new trailer for the matrix movie?

[sametunsal]

Eğer birincinin videosunun altında bile hala Yusuf yorumlara dönüyorsa demekki biz kazanmışız.

[senshai]

You guys should check out the Turkish 51 year old shooter, that man is definitely assasin

[jcas]

1000 meter stare. Deadly accuracy. Casual indifference. Doc Holiday emotions. I think perhaps that any American female actress in a shooting role for Hollywood ought to pay attention to this girl. Be honest: if she was carrying a real weapon, instead of an air gun, would you want to cross her? For that matter, she could probably also teach you the meaning of the word "pain" with just the air gun. Not that I'm into that sort of thing. Just sayin'.

[deleted-ug]

It's like seeing a grown up talking and dreaming about climbing walls as a spiderman, is that what ppl call now 'main character energy' 😐

[Dellhpdellhp]

She might be a friend of john wick but that turkish guy is real life john wick

[Han-wshe]

A female relative of the rooftop Korean

[LeonTagala-zj]

That dude from turkey is the real main charcater

[LenindoCavaco]

Eu estava obcecada passava 80% do meu tempo falando sobre a Yeji Kim e nos outros 20% eu torcia pra que alguém falasse dela para que pudesse falar dela mais um pouco

[stavroshadjiyiannis]

90s movie trailer voice: "She was a slender Korean mom"

[TheBiskutMayat]

Both viral pistol athlete won silver and nobody remember who won gold..😂😂
