No one is doing it like her !
The Olympics are fully underway, meaning some athletes have already become breakout stars. Of course,Simone Biles and the gold-winning United States women’s gymnastics teamhave once again proven themselves darlings of the games.
There’s alsoStephen Nedoroscik, aka thepommel horse king, who helped the men’s gymnastics team secure a bronze medal.
Other breakout athletes in Paris are Team USA rugby sevens playerIlona Maher(who helped her team secure a bronze medal) and Team Egypt fencerNada Hafez(who competed while seven months pregnant).
But no one has proven themselves to be the sartorial star of the Olympics more than South Korean sharpshooter Kim Ye-ji.
According toCNN, a clip of Kim wearing all black and looking cool as hell during a May women’s 25m Air Pistol event in Azerbaijan is going viral alongside her Olympics performance.
Is this the hottest and coolest anyone has ever looked in history ? Possibly.pic.twitter.com/CkJQbIinn0
CNN also reported Kimset a world recordduring the May competition.
The most " Main Character Energy " I ’ve ever seen in my life.pic.twitter.com/ExuXVxB3VB
With her chic fits, shooting glasses, and sleek haircut, Kim looks like she just walked out of the trendiest art house action film that hasn’t opened in wide release yet, but your Brooklynite cousin already won’t shut up about it.

The viral video coincided with Kimwinning silveron Sunday in the Olympics' Women’s 10m Air Pistol event where she once again donned a black fit paired with a simple white cap.
And she completed her competition look witha mementofor her daughter — a stuffed elephant — hanging from her waist.
How sweet is that?

Need more reasons to love Kim? Fellow South Korean Oh Ye-jin won gold in the same event, and Kim was her biggest supporter.
“She is like my youngest sibling, and I always want to care for her and always be there for her. So, when she won the gold medal, I was extra happy,” Kim told theAssociated Press.
“I do not view her as my rival. This is a big stage, the Olympics, and we won the gold and silver. When we won these medals, we were so proud we are Koreans. I thought it did not matter who won the gold,” she continued.
Kim’s vibe is simply immaculate.
