South Korean Olympic silver medalist Kim Ye-ji is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming spinoff series ‘Crush’. Known for her cool demeanor and style during the Olympics, the pistol shooter captured the attention of the internet with her wire-rimmed glasses and baseball cap. The 32-year-old athlete will play an assassin in the short-form series, a spinoff of the global film project ‘Asia’.
Directed by Asia Lab CEO Lee Jung-sub, ‘Asia’ focuses on individuals tackling racism and discrimination and features a cast of American and Asian actors, including Indian star Anushka Sen. Asia Lab expressed excitement over the pairing of Kim Ye-ji and Sen, calling them a potential “killer duo”.
Celebrities like Elon Musk have taken notice of Kim Ye-ji’s star quality, with Musk suggesting she should be cast in an action movie without needing to act. With the potential for fame in the acting world, fans are speculating about a possible collaboration between Kim Ye-ji and Turkish Olympic shooter Yusuf Dikeç. The idea of the two famous athletes teaming up on screen has generated interest and excitement among audiences.
Kim Ye-ji’s transition from Olympic athlete to aspiring actress has created buzz in the entertainment industry, and her upcoming role in ‘Crush’ is highly anticipated by fans eager to see her talents shine on screen.
