Kim Ye-ji, the South Korean shooting star, moves towards possible stardom in the entertainment industry by taking on a role in the series Crush.
Historically, Olympic athletes like Johnny Weissmuller and Sonja Henie transitioned to acting, yet the trend faced setbacks in the 1980s due to failed film projects.
Shifts in the industry's perception led later Olympians to mainly secure cameo roles rather than substantial parts in films, as seen with Tom Daley and others.
The mixed legacy of Olympians in acting highlights both potential for crossover success and considerable risk, especially following the disappointments of '80s athlete-led films.
