Ahn Gwi-ryeong: The Courageous Politician Who Confronted an Armed Soldier
A South Korean opposition party spokesperson, Ahn Gwi-ryeong, became a symbol of defiance against martial law after a video of her grappling with a soldier's gun went viral. This act was part of a broader resistance by lawmakers and their aides, who blocked soldiers from entering parliament, leading to a unanimous vote against President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law declaration. The incident has sparked plans to impeach the president, with Ahn downplaying her actions amidst widespread public rejection of military rule.
