Images went viral showing Ahn Gwi-ryeong, 35, a former TV anchor who serves as spokesperson for the opposition Democratic party, grappling with a soldier and grabbing hold of his gun. One video was viewed more than 1.2m times on YouTube as of Thursday evening. (…) As lawmakers were gathered on Tuesday, their aides blocked entrances with furniture, formed human chains and sprayed troops with fire extinguishers. Two and a half hours after the president declared martial law, 190 lawmakers had made their way to the parliament and unanimously voted to block it. Ahn can be seen shouting at the soldier in the clip: “Let go! Don’t you feel the shame?” After she grabs his rifle, the soldier steps back.
