Security staff and aides from the ruling party stood guard outside the room to keep opposition lawmakers away after the committee's GNP-affiliated chairman invoked his right to use force to "keep order" in parliamentary proceedings.

That's golden!!

There are some pictures on that page. They used construction tools including an electric saw to cut open the door.

It reminds me of the old joke about going to a fight and a hockey game breaking out, just insert National Assembly meeting instead.

They need to send in that huge Korean kickboxer to just throw bodies around. It'd be HILARIOUS!

I don't when the US has last had such brawls in Congress. I do know in the old days it did happen. There was some incident I was told by a history teacher where a Congressman with a cane hit another Congressman with his cane. As far as civilized behavior, the US has more serious violence problems than South Korea. I could be wrong, but I generally feel safe in Korea whereas in some parts of some big cities in the US I wouldn't feel safe.
