Olympics 2024: After Turkish Shooter Yusuf Dikec Breaks Internet, Now S. Korea’s ‘Coolest Star Yeji

51-year-old Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec has taken the internet by storm with his silver medal win and laid-back style at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Dikec's nonchalant pose, with one hand in his pocket and minimal gear compared to other competitors, has made him an overnight meme sensation. South Korean shooter Kim Ye-ji also turned heads with her cool-as-ice demeanor. Alongside partner Sevval Ilayda Tarhan, Dikec secured Turkey's first-ever Olympic shooting medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. Social media can't get enough of Dikec's unbothered vibe, which contrasts with his rivals' high-tech gear. As a 5-time Olympian and retired Turkish Gendarmerie officer, Dikec is no stranger to elite competition. His viral fame has earned him a spot alongside Kim Yeji as an unexpected Olympic icon. Dikec is soaking up the attention, sharing memes about himself, while aiming for gold in LA 2028.
