South Korean politician An Gwi-ryeong became a symbol of defiance after grappling with an armed soldier outside the National Assembly during a tense political standoff. This followed President Yoon Suk Yeol's unexpected declaration of martial law, which sparked widespread condemnation. Viral footage shows An grabbing the soldier’s rifle to block troops from interfering with lawmakers’ proceedings. Inside, 190 legislators successfully voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to revoke martial law just six hours later. An described the confrontation as terrifying yet necessary, highlighting the fragility of South Korea’s hard-won democracy amid its struggle against authoritarian overreach.
