not just a korean woman btw, she's the spokesman of the largest opposition party.

Man, she's got it by the scary end! Usually you want that pointing away from you but she seems to be trying to help him aim right at herself...

Seriously. I support her message but she was inviting, or even attempting to cause a deadly accident. It looked like videos of suicide by cop I've seen.

Edit to the downvotes: one of the critical rules of guns is whatever is in front of the barrel can be destroyed (rephrased). A gun is always assumed loaded, and a safety is always assumed to be malfunctioning. It doesn't matter if you like guns or not, or if you assume a soldier is "better than that". The risk is always there, and she pointed the barrel at herself. Wrestling a gun from someone and pointing the barrel at yourself (and the crowd!) is inviting an accident.

I mean like, regardless of how dangerous it is, it's respectable that people actually care enough to risk it

Again I 100% support the message. I just feel that wrestling over a firearm, with a crowd behind you is foolishly unsafe. The current political crisis in sk would have gotten worse if she or someone else was killed accidentally.
