South Korean politician Ahn Gwi-ryeong has been hailed as an “iron woman” for boldly confronting an armed soldier during mass protests against President Yoon Suk-yeol’s brief imposition of martial law on the night of December 3, 2024. Yoon lifted the order in the early hours of the following day, but his actions plunged the country into turmoil and led to calls for his impeachment. Ahn, who is a vocal critic of Yoon, scuffled with a soldier and attempted to snatch away his rifle. A video of the stand-off that went viral on social media showed the opposition Democratic Party member hollering “Don’t you feel ashamed?” as the serviceman resisted her attempt to seize the weapon.
