Andy Kim (39), a Korean-American congressman, became the main character of the story in the United States. Rep. Kim, a member of the Democratic Party, was caught cleaning up trash in the US Capitol, which was messed with protesters invading on the 7th (local time). Congressman Kim was elected in New Jersey in 2018. He is the first member of the House of Representatives to belong to the Korean Democratic Party.
After radical protesters supporting President Donald Trump broke into the Capitol, bottled water, stars and stripes, and discarded clothes were littered at the scene. Thousands of protesters occupied the interior of the Capitol and confronted the police, resulting in a number of casualties and broken windows.

Rep. Kim, who was in the capitol at the time, witnessed police officers holding garbage bags and sorting out, and said, “I want an envelope too.” Then I knelt down and started cleaning up the trash. The Associated Press and fellow lawmakers accidentally caught him wearing a blue dental mask and cleaning up silently.
Andy Kim is in a position that he only did what he had to do. In a video interview with MSNBC, he said, “I was torn by the appearance of trash-filled when I was passing through the messy Parliament Lawton the Hall.” He previously said to the Associated Press, “If someone likes something that breaks, it doesn’t mean they want to fix it,” he said. “I just thought that I should do anything from the standpoint of loving the capitol.

When asked by MSNBC anchor, “Will you agree with the proposal for the impeachment of President Trump,” Congressman Kim replied firmly, “Yes.” Rep. Kim continued, “It was President Trump that brought this violence himself, and he was a dangerous person,” said Rep. Kim.
Rep. Kim said that he only moved spontaneously, but the wavelength left by his beautiful story is not small. Not only the US media, but also Facebook and Twitter posted the gist of “The inspirational scene of a legislator who organizes garbage”, and praised comments are lined up. An MSNBC anchor ended his interview with him saying, “I want to express my gratitude for what you did today.”
