A female bodyguard who defended herself from throwing a soju bottle aimed at former President Park Geun-hye is also a hot topic in China.
On the 26th, local media, such as the Chinese media People’s Daily and Groom’s Military, reported a video of the situation at the time and praised the bodyguard’s response.
Earlier, on the 24th, former President Park arrived in Daegu and delivered a message to the public. Then, a man in his 40s threw a bottle of soju, which shattered on the floor about 3 meters away from former President Park, and fortunately there were no casualties.
At that time, when a bottle of soju flew in, the bodyguards gathered near former President Park with the sound of “cover up” and unfolded bulletproof plates. In particular, a female bodyguard quickly covered former President Park by blocking fragments of her bottle as soon as the soju bottle flew in.
Chinese media reported the incident under titles such as ‘A nice bodyguard who stopped a bottle of alcohol aimed at Park Geun-hye’ and ‘The female bodyguard who blocked a bottle for Park Geun-hye became popular’.

The People’s Daily reported that this female bodyguard “is attracting attention in Korea with her sharp eyes and gestures” and “Chinese netizens also praised her as ‘handsome’.”
Sina.com said, “(The moment the bottle of soju flew away) is a hot topic. I am passionate about her ‘cool’.”
In addition, other media explained in detail, “The female bodyguard, who showed the fastest response, kept an eye on the flying object until the end, confirmed that it fell in front of her feet, and ran straight to former President Park to cover it.”
The security scene of a female bodyguard, which has collected a lot of attention, was shared through Chinese social media and even climbed to the top of search terms on portal sites.
Chinese netizens showed reactions such as “She looks great,” “I praise her agility,” “It was wonderful to see her protecting her body without sparing her life, even though her life could be in danger.”
Meanwhile, it is known that those who escorted former President Park came from the Presidential Security Service. According to the Act on Courtesy of Ex-Presidents, former President Park, who has been convicted of a crime, cannot receive the treatment stipulated in this law, but is provided with basic 5 years and up to 10 years of support for the necessary period.
Former President Park, whose retirement date is March 10, 2017, is expected to end her security on the 10th of this month, but it is reported that the period of security has been extended by five more years through consultation with the Security Agency.
