On March 1st, during the 107th anniversary of the March 1st Movement at the National Assembly of South Korea, far-right YouTuber Jeon Han-gil was involved in a commotion after he attempted to bring a gas gun-shaped pepper spray into the premises. Upon undergoing security checks, authorities discovered the item, prompting police to be alerted and dispatched to the scene. Following an investigation, it was confirmed that the object in question was indeed a pepper spray intended for self-defense, not a firearm.

Police officials indicated that the item was not considered a violation of the Firearms and Ammunition Control Act, leading to the incident being categorized as a minor misunderstanding or 'epic fail.' While Jeon submitted the pepper spray at the visitor center before entering the event space, no further details emerged regarding his motives for carrying the spray on such a significant occasion.

The incident casts a light on security procedures at the National Assembly, particularly in the context of individuals known for their extreme views attempting to engage in political activities. It raises important questions about public safety and how officials manage potential risks posed by controversial figures, especially those who may provoke tensions through their presence in sensitive environments like the National Assembly.
