Police investigate woman who blocked entry to Olympic Park offices

Police have launched an investigation into a woman who prevented officials from entering offices at the Olympic Park handball gymnasium. The woman, identified only as A, blocked access for approximately two hours on June 16. She obstructed officials from the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation and other sports organizations attempting to enter through Gate 2-1.

Despite efforts by figures including Jang Dong-hyuk, a representative of the People Power Party, and other rally participants to persuade her, the woman remained in place, ultimately preventing entry. Conservative online communities have reportedly nicknamed her 'Oldark,' a portmanteau of 'Olympic Park' and 'Joan of Arc.'

Following the incident, the woman was escorted from the scene under police protection. The Songpa Police Station in Seoul plans to identify the woman and proceed with an investigation into charges such as obstruction of business.
