In broad daylight, the speed with which Lee Jae-myung's assassin moved was staggering. He suddenly rushed out of the crowd, like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the otherwise calm air. In a second, the knife touched Lee Jae-myung's neck, and at such a speed, the bodyguards next to him didn't have time to react. Although Lee Jae-myung had several personal bodyguards around him, at this moment, they seemed to have become useless ornaments.

The killer opted for a frontal attack and rushed directly to the target, while the bodyguards stood on Lee Jae-myung's side. This position undoubtedly left an opportunity for the murderer to take advantage of, and he penetrated the defense line of the bodyguards and launched an attack with lightning speed. After the murderer succeeded, he was immediately pushed to the ground by the bodyguards who reacted, but Lee Jae-ming had already suffered real damage.

This scene is reminiscent of the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. At that time, the murderer Toru Yamagami was also standing behind Abe, no more than a few meters away. After the first shot, Abe was shot in the back, but the bodyguards were slow to react and did not block the killer's actions in time. This gave Tetsuya Yamagami the opportunity to fire a second shot, which hit Abe directly in the chest.

As for what happened to Lee Jae-myung, we should not only ask: why was the murderer able to break through the defense line of the bodyguards so easily, and why did the bodyguards fail to respond quickly and accurately in the first place of the incident?

In both assassinations, the killer's quick movements and precise attacks were clearly not accidental. There are more complex reasons behind this, including but not limited to the security measures at the scene, the preparation of the killer, and possible psychological factors.
