Actor and Former 707 Special Mission Group Member Lee Kwan-hoon Persuades Martial Law Troops: “Don’t Block the Way”
According to the YouTube channel “Hwang Reporter TV,” Lee Kwan-hoon, a former member of the 707 Special Mission Group, approached the martial law troops who had entered the National Assembly and attempted to engage in dialogue.
In the video, Lee Kwan-hoon introduced himself, saying, “I’m a 707 senior,” and continued, “I know you’re acting on orders, but you need to stay calm. I served 20 years ago as Sergeant Lee Kwan-hoon, your senior.”
He further added, “I spoke with some of your peers. I heard helicopters are bringing in more reinforcements, and I came because I’m concerned. No matter who gave you the orders, avoid using excessive force or blocking the way. I trust you can make the right judgment.”
Lee Kwan-hoon served in the 707 Special Mission Group (This unit specializes in high-risk missions, including black operations, counterterrorism, direct action, executive protection, hostage rescue, irregular warfare, and tactical intelligence gathering) and was discharged in 2004 with the rank of sergeant. He later transitioned to acting, appearing in dramas such as “Dae Joyeong,” “The Great Queen Seondeok,” “Road No. 1,” “Voice,” and Big Issue.
On December 3, at 10:24 PM (KST), President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law during an emergency briefing at the Yongsan Presidential Office. Armed martial law troops broke through the glass windows of the National Assembly building and clashed with citizens as they entered. The National Assembly passed a resolution demanding the termination of martial law with 190 votes in favor. Subsequently, President Yoon lifted the martial law and ordered the withdrawal of troops at 4:27 AM on December 4.
