Watch your back, John Wick.
It seems the 2024 Paris Olympics now has a main character, and it's Kim Yeji — a 31-year-old South Korean sharpshooter who exudes the nonchalant "aura" of a cyberpunk assassin.

The first-time Olympian won the silver medal at the women's 10-meter air pistol event on Sunday, but it was a clip from her previous appearance at the International Shooting Sport Federation World Cup in May that has made her social media's latest obsession.
A closer look at Kim Yeji's cool shooting glasses.

In a clip making the rounds on social media, Kim is decked out in a backward baseball cap and an IDGAF attitude as she casually shoots the target with her free hand tucked into her pocket. She then flips up a single lens of her futuristic-looking shooting glasses to check her score, barely flinching when it's announced she just broke the world record in the 25-meter air pistol event.
To make the situation even more badass, when Kim was asked by reporters after the event if she thinks she can improve anything in her shooting, she reportedly responded with: "There is nothing to improve."
Naturally, many on the internet were instantly enamored.
