Social:2019 South Korean Capitol attack
The 2019 South Korean Capitol attack occurred on December 16, 2019, when supporters of the Liberty Korea Party, Our Republican Party, and Taegeukgi units suddenly attempted to illegally enter the Korea National Assembly Proceeding Hall and use violence against police and politicians.
Attack on the Capitol
On December 16, 2019, the Liberty Korea Party, Korea's mainstream conservative party, held "The contest to condemn the revision of the CIO Act and the Election Act" (Korean: 공수처법·선거법 날치기 저지 규탄대회) with the Taegeuk squad and illegally invaded the National Assembly on the same day. In front of the National Assembly, they used violence by spitting on Justice Party members, grabbing their hair and shaking them. They also assaulted Sul Hoon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea.[1][2][3]
Two years later, South Korean media compared the incident to the 2021 United States Capitol attack. However, in the case of the United States, unlike the 2019 South Korean Capitol attack, lawmakers have not become victims of direct physical violence.[4][5][6]
