South Korea’s opposition party leader Lee Jae-myung, who was the main rival of Yoon Suk Yeol in the 2022 presidential election, made headlines when he filmed himself climbing over a fence to enter the parliament building on Tuesday night. This dramatic incident occurred as lawmakers rushed to vote against the president’s martial law decree.
Lee, the leader of the liberal Democratic Party, took to YouTube to livestream his journey to the National Assembly after the president's announcement. The video captured him approaching a fence, scaling it, and then making his way into the parliament building to reach his office.
