In a video recording the clash between soldiers and civilians outside the National Assembly building, a woman attracted attention for grabbing a gun and loudly scolding the soldiers under martial law. “ Don’t you feel ashamed? ”, “Let go!”, the woman shouted.

Another soldier then stepped in and separated the two, preventing his comrade from pointing his gun at the woman.

The woman was identified as Ahn Gwi Ryeong, chairwoman of Dobong District, Seoul, of the Democratic Party of Korea. Before entering politics in 2022 by joining a committee supporting presidential candidate Lee Jae Myung, she worked as a news anchor at YTN and held various roles in the media industry.

The video has attracted millions of views across multiple platforms, with many netizens praising her courage.

According to AFP, lawmakers from South Korea's main opposition party scuffled with security forces and climbed over fences to be able to enter to vote to reject martial law.

On the night of December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol surprised everyone by declaring martial law on the grounds that the opposition Democratic Party, which controls the National Assembly, was engaging in "anti-state" actions.

The South Korean National Assembly held an emergency meeting early on December 4 with the participation of 190 lawmakers and voted to pass a resolution asking President Yoon Suk-yeol to lift martial law. The National Assembly Speaker and the opposition leader said they had to climb over the wall to get inside the National Assembly building.

The South Korean president then agreed to lift martial law in the early morning of December 4.

South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun has submitted his resignation to President Yoon Suk-yeol after receiving criticism over the martial law declaration that has caused political turmoil in the country. Senior presidential aides including Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk, National Security Adviser Shin Won-sik, Chief of Policy Office Sung Tae-yoon and seven other senior aides have submitted their resignations.

President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing impeachment after six South Korean opposition parties submitted a bill to parliament calling for the impeachment of the South Korean leader.

The South Korean National Assembly is expected to vote on the impeachment bill against Yoon Suk-yeol on December 5 or 6.
