South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji, who won the silver medal in women's ten-meter air pistol event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, was included in the BBC 100 Women 2024 list.

On its website Tuesday, the BBC said charisma and sporting achievements brought Kim to the world's attention, after she won the Olympic silver medal in July and set the women's 25-meter pistol world record a few months prior to that.

BBC said videos of the 32-year-old shooter went viral on social media, "praising not only her skills, but also her ice cool demeanor, unbreakable concentration and sci-fi-inspired look with bespoke glasses to help with precision."

The British broadcaster mentioned Kim's comments that sports demonstrates resilience, teamwork, and determination, which she said are values that extend far beyond the playing field to inspire broader societal change.

Another South Korean, Park Su-bin, co-founder of Stair Crusher Club, made the BBC's 100 Women list, recognized for launching the nonprofit project to collect information on wheelchair unfriendly routes and places with no step-free access in the country.

BBC said Park, a wheelchair user herself, used her skills as a former IT project manager to highlight the issue, with an aim to create an accessibility map for the users.
