JAKARTA - The South Korean sniper, Kim Yeji, who looked stunning and his style was considered a 'badass' when he was aiming for a rifle. Now, he suddenly plunged into the entertainment world and became a Balenciaga model.

Reported by VOI from the CNN page on Monday, December 16, 2024, this 32-year-old woman appeared in Balenciaga's latest campaign. He is side by side with another model, namely Romeo Beckham and singer Kim Petras.

The series of shootings were taken around Paris. In the photo released by the Balenciaga dictionary, Kim Ye-ji looks cool wearing all-denim clothes in a bomber jacket suit and jeans with cut out accents.

Kim Ye Ji posed in a red chair and brought Balenciaga's newest bag. The campaign titled 'This is a Balenciaga Campaign' was immortalized by photographer Juergen Teller. He is famous for his unique photography style, but sometimes controversial.

In an interview with CNN last October, Kim revealed that he considered himself a 'simple style lover'. He often wears crop tops and jeans in his spare time, as well as team uniforms for training or match day.

"I dress very simply. But people say I look good," he said.

This campaign is a collaboration between Teller and his wife as well as his creative partner, Dovile Drizite. The campaign also features Beckham sitting on a white sofa with the background of the Eiffel Tower, and Petras on a blue flower-motivated sofa on one of Paris' streets.

They joined other models such as Sua Lee, Khadim Sock, and Akalde Meet. In September, Romeo Beckham, David and Victoria Beckham's second son, made a surprising runway debut for this fashion house in the French capital.

Netizens began to be amazed when they watched Kim at the Olympics and saw Kim's relaxed attitude while shooting.

As Olympic audiences were amazed by Kim's relaxed attitude at shooting and her futuristic glasses in Paris this summer, a previous video showing herself casually breaking world records in Azerbaijan has been watched millions of times.

Since then, Kim has gained various projects in the fashion and acting world, including a photo shoot for Louis Vuitton published in W Korea magazine and the role of hitman in the TV series Crush.

Prior to becoming a Balenciaga model, Kim Ye Ji announced the news of breaking the contract with the fire department team at Imsil County Hall. This decision was taken so that he could focus on his family. In addition, he admitted that he was depressed because he received many malicious comments on social media.
