One video was viewed more than 1.2m times on YouTube as of Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cMy only thought was that I just needed to stop them.

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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Ahn can be seen shouting at the soldier in the clip: \u201cLet go! Don\u2019t you feel the shame?\u201d After she grabs his rifle, the soldier steps back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Asked if she knew it would gain that much attention, Ahn said: \u201cThere were many people braver than me who stood up to the martial law troops. There were people who even managed to stop armoured vehicles outside. So, I don\u2019t think my actions were particularly special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The commander of the martial law troops said on Thursday he had no intention to use firearms against the public. The country\u2019s vice defence minister said no live ammunition was provided to the troops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">South Korean opposition lawmakers plan to vote this weekend to impeach the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Ahn said: \u201cI think that the people have already psychologically impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. Who could trust a president declaring martial law almost like a child playing games or entrust the nation to such leadership?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/dec\/05\/south-korean-woman-who-grabbed-soldiers-gun-says-i-just-needed-to-stop-them\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A South Korean party spokesperson seen grappling with a rifle-wielding soldier in a video that went viral as a symbol of defiance against martial law has insisted that she was &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=133741\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-133741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=133741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133741\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=133741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=133741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=133741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
