Viral South Korean Olympic shooter Kim Yeji scores first acting role – as an assassin
奥运会上爆红的韩国冷面女射击手将出演杀手
South Korean pistol shooter Kim Yeji, whose skill and nonchalance won the internet at the Paris Olympics, has landed her first acting role – as an assassin.
The 32-year-old took silver in the women’s 10m air pistol in July and her ultra-calm demeanour, combined with her wire-rimmed shooting glasses and baseball cap, turned her into a worldwide online sensation.
As videos of her shooting went viral, she drew praise from celebrities such as Elon Musk.
在巴黎奥运会上，韩国手枪射击运动员金艺智以其高超的技艺和淡定的态度赢得了网络关注，现在她获得了自己的首个演出角色——一名杀手。
这位32岁的选手在7月份的女子10米气手枪比赛中获得银牌，她超冷静的举止，再加上金属框射击眼镜和棒球帽，使她成为全球网络红人。
她的射击视频在网上疯传，连埃隆·马斯克等名人也对她表示赞赏。
