Republic of Korea’s ‘coolest’ sharpshooter goes viral at Paris 2024 Olympics

Kim Yeji, the ‘coolest’ sharpshooter at Paris 2024

If there is one thing that stands out about Kim, it is her epic look with the bespoke glasses she wears to help with precision.

They look like something straight out of a sci-fi film, and are popular among shooting athletes as they help to avoid blur and increase visual focus. They include a lens, blinders and a mechanical iris.

Not only does Kim wear these glasses, but her stylish demeanour and body language make for a unique look.

Specifically, a viral video from May shows Kim’s composure and eye-catching appearance, all black as she calmly broke the world record in the 25m pistol women’s event. She showed the same quality and class at Paris 2024 to win her first medal at her first Games in the French capital.
