Kim Ye-ji (Imsil County Office), who won a silver medal in the 10m air pistol shooting event at the Paris Olympics and emerged as a world star, has risen again.

Kim Ye-ji surprised many fans by suddenly collapsing during a press conference held at the Jeonbuk Autonomous Province Shooting Range in Imsil County on the 9th.

Kim Ye-ji regained consciousness after about 10 minutes of emergency treatment, and is currently in stable condition at a hospital in Jeonju as of the 12th.

On the night of the 11th, Kim Ye-ji posted on her SNS a photo of herself smiling brightly, along with the words, “You were worried about me, right? I heard that many people were worried,” and “I’m okay now. This time, I’ll do my best in the remaining matches so that you won’t be disappointed. I’m so grateful to everyone who worried about me, and I love you.”

The number of cheering comments from fans also exceeded 500. One fan said, “Thank goodness. I thought the sky was falling,” and expressed concern, saying, “I was going to cheer you on at the upcoming Naju competition, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to see you.”

Another fan encouraged her, saying, “Even though the tension of shooting is overwhelming, my body comes first, never my grades. I want to see the image of this amazing female warrior for a long time.”

Shim Min, the governor of Imsil County, said, “I was worried, but I received a text message from Kim Ye-ji yesterday,” and added, “She said she would work harder in the future. Imsil County will also pay more attention to Kim Ye-ji’s health and provide her with unsparing support.”

Meanwhile, on the 10th (Korean time), a day before the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics, NBC selected 10 stars who were the talk of the town during the event.

NBC introduced Kim Ye-ji for the second time, saying, “She has become a hot topic among fans online for her shooting skills and style. She has the potential to surpass even 007.”

Tesla CEO Elon Musk also wrote a rave review on social media, saying, “It would be great if world shooting champion Yeji Kim appeared in an action movie. She should be cast. She doesn’t need to act; it’s a movie in itself.”
