[Asia Economy Reporter Park Byung-hee] Comedian Kim Min-kyung, who participated for the first time as a national shooting team member in an international shooting competition, finished in the lower ranks but continued to challenge herself until the end, earning supportive voices from the public.
Kim Min-kyung ranked 51st out of 52 female competitors at the '2022 International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) Handgun World Shoot' held last month in Thailand. She placed 333rd out of a total of 341 participants.
Regardless of the ranking, considering that just a year ago she was a complete novice in shooting as a comedian, this is an impressive achievement.
Through iHQ's web variety show "Sikyeoseo Handa! Oneulbuteo Undongddung (Exerciseddung from Today)," Kim Min-kyung challenged various sports such as weight training, martial arts, Pilates, and Kendo. The public was amazed and encouraged her for showing talent in unexpected fields.
In particular, Kim Min-kyung demonstrated exceptional talent in shooting and was even selected as a national representative. The process she showed until being chosen as a national shooting team member became an opportunity to inspire surprise and confidence in the public, regardless of her performance in this competition.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-kyung's activities at the 2022 IPSC Handgun World Shoot will be revealed over four episodes on "Undongddung" starting on the 7th. Videos of her time in Thailand can also be found on IHQ's short-form platform Babayo.
