The 32-year-old took home the silver medal in the women’s 10m air pistol in July. Her ultra-calm demeanour, combined with her wire-rimmed shooting glasses, baseball cap and her five-year-old daughter’s stuffed elephant toy – a lucky charm – hanging from her waist, turned her into a worldwide sensation.
While Kim’s South Korean teammate Oh Ye-jin won gold for the event, it was Kim who went viral, drawing praise from personalities such as billionaire Elon Musk.
“She should be cast in an action movie. No acting required,” Musk wrote on his social media platform X at the time.
Now, she will play an assassin in Crush, a spin-off short-form series of the global film project Asia, said a spokesperson for Seoul-based entertainment firm Asia Lab on Sept 20.
