The immediate reactions of those in attendance showed clear concern as people rushed to help her.

Paramedics arrived quickly, provided emergency care and placed the 31-year-old Olympian on a stretcher.

Ye-ji was later transferred to Jeonju Hospital, where she underwent a series of tests.

According to local authorities, the collapse was attributed to “accumulated fatigue” and she had briefly lost consciousness.

A local official denied reports that he needed CPR for resuscitation.

For now, Ye-ji remains hospitalized and under observation. No further information was given on any underlying illness that may have contributed to the incident.

Ye-ji, who won a silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol event at the Paris Olympics, did not reach the final of the 25-meter event due to time problems.

His impressive shooting skills have attracted international attention, especially after setting a world record in Azerbaijan in May.

The video of her performance went viral, even catching the attention of Elon Musk, who suggested she might be a good fit for Hollywood.

She should be cast in an action movie. No need to act!
