Talk:Korean Unification Flag

Untitled
Wasn't Korea unification flag the more appropriate title. Saying this, I'm not aware of any other Unification Flag, so maybe just leave it where it is. Kokiri 22:40, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

How about Unification Flag of Korea? --Puzzlet Chung 20:25, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Unless there's some other "Unification Flag" with an article, I see no reason to move.--Pharos 21:50, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

What, no Dokdo?
It's kind of hard to believe that the Unification Flag would leave out Ulleungdo and Dokdo! I really expected to see them there. --Reuben 04:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Since the two Koreas recently agreed to place Ulleungdo and Dokdo to the Korean Unification Flag, we should replace the current flag, which does not display Dokdo and Ulleungdo with a flag which does. Tell me what you think. --DandanxD 10:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * By all means, any revamped flag needs to clearly display not only Dagelet and Liancourt Rocks just as clearly as it now shows Quelpart, but it should feature Socotra Rock so everybody will be happy and han-free. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.19 (talk) 09:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Mount Baeteuk as well. Gando! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.15.166 (talk) 04:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

It seems that originally Cheju was the only island included. Anything else would be rather inconspicuous on an actual cloth flag, if included according to strict scale... AnonMoos (talk) 11:33, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Official status
The article states that the flag isn't "the official" flag of either Korea (which is to be expected) -- what I wonder is if it has the status of a official flag? --Himasaram 13:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Only during special events but even then, it's not considered "official" (i.e. the Olympics). --DandanxD 10:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

German Flag
the german flag should not be pictured in this article, it should have a link in the see also section

2018 Paralympics
Apparently North Korea refused to enter together with South Korea for the 2018 Paralympic opening ceremony, unless a version of the flag with Liancourt/Dokdo clould be used: -- AnonMoos (talk) 14:13, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Primary purpose, origin and symbolism
Is this correct - that the primary purpose of the flag is to represent the two countries together in sporting events? I was under the impression that it's a flag of the overall Korean reunification movement (indeed, its use on Korean reunification implies this), and that any use in sporting events derives from this.

Furthermore, I'm made to wonder the origin of the design. Of course, the shape of the Korean peninsula isn't in itself designed, but some work must have gone into turning this into a flag design. Was this work done by a North Korean, a South Korean, a meeting of people of both nations or someone else entirely?

Moreover, the Symbolism section currently talks about how South Koreans view the flag and about how North Koreans view South Koreans' use of it. What about how North Koreans view it when used by their own people, and how South Koreans view its use by North Koreans? This is before you get to the matter of how it's viewed by the nations' governments versus by the people generally, and of different individuals having different views on the matter.

But clearly the intended symbolism is of (the prospect of) Korea as a unified country. Still, frequently in flags the colours symbolise something; can anyone shed light on this? — Smjg (talk) 16:12, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
