Kim Yejin, South Korea’s breakout star from the Paris 2024 Olympics, fainted during a press conference and was immediately taken to the hospital. The incident happened in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, where the silver medalist in the women’s 10m air pistol event was attending a media briefing. She lost consciousness but fortunately regained it within ten minutes.
A Korean official explained that Kim, who is 31 years old, is now being observed in the hospital. The fainting spell was likely due to stress and fatigue, and it was confirmed that no CPR was needed on the scene.
Kim shot to fame after her powerful performance at the Paris Olympics, where her focused and intense expression during the competition captivated audiences worldwide. Her look was so striking that even billionaire Elon Musk took notice, suggesting on social media that Kim could star in an action movie without any acting required.
Kim has since expressed her gratitude to Musk and has been navigating the unexpected wave of attention that followed her Olympic success.
