from Olympic athlete to hitman
The Olympic Games offer medals, a certain notoriety, but above all they open doors. While Armand Duplantis continues to break pole vault records, the South Korean Olympic shooter will have the right to her first role on the small screen.

But as the fruit never falls far from its tree, Kim Ye-ji will not stray too far from the discipline that made her famous. She will play a hitwoman in a series called “Crush”, in the summers of Indian actress Anushka Sen.A series that will feature stars from at least 7 different countries, with a plot built around themes such as xenophobia and racism.
