A female guard who stretched her body to prevent a bottle of shochu thrown at former South Korean President Park Geun-hye has become a hot topic in China.
On the 26th, local media such as the Chinese government-owned media “People’s Daily” and the military-specialized media “Sina Military” reported this while releasing a video of the situation at that time and praised the measures taken by the guards. The case was intensively reported under the titles such as “A cool guard who protected Park Geun-hye from a bottle of sake” and “A female guard who protected Park Geun-hye from a bottle is gaining popularity.”
On the 24th, former President Park held a press conference for the first time after a special amnesty in front of his private residence in Dalseong-gun, Daegu, and announced a message to the people. However, one minute after the start of the press conference, a man in his 40s threw a bottle of shochu and caused a turmoil. Fortunately, the bottle was struck by the ground about 3 meters away from former President Park and broke, and there was no loss of life.
At that time, the guards acted as a shield around former President Park at the same time as the voice saying “Protect”. In particular, one female guard swiftly ran in front of former President Park and guarded the shards of the bottle when it flew, using his feet as a shield.
The People’s Daily told the female guard that “it is a hot topic in South Korea for its sharp eyes and movements,” and “Chinese internet users also praise her as’cool’.”
Sina said, “The movement (of the guard at the moment the bottle of shochu flies) is a hot topic. I am enthusiastic about the” coolness “of the female guard.”
In other media, “The female guard who showed the quickest response kept an eye on the flying object until the end, and after confirming that it fell in front of her feet, immediately rushed to the side of former President Park. I kept it, “he explained in detail.
The hot topic of female guards was shared through Chinese social media and ranked high in the search terms of the portal site.
Chinese internet users responded, “If it was a bullet instead of a bottle of liquor, my life might have been dangerous, but it’s cool to be guarded by stretching my body.”
On the other hand, it turned out that the personnel who guarded former President Park were dispatched from the presidential guard office. According to the law on the courtesy of the former president, former President Park, who has been found guilty, cannot receive the courtesy provided by the law, but he can receive the treatment for a basic period of 5 years and a maximum of 10 years. Former President Park, who retired on March 10, 2017, said that the basic five-year protection period ended on the 10th of this month, but he extended his protection period by five years in consultation with the guard office.
