What is your opinion of the Unification flag of Korea?
Very basic, but to the point. I didn't even realize there was such a flag until today.



Here is the info from Wikipedia.org.

Quote:
The Unification Flag is used to represent all of Korea when North and South Korea participate together in sporting events. The flag was first used in 1991 when the two countries competed as a single team in the 41st World Table Tennis Championship in Chiba, Japan and the 6th World Youth Soccer Championship in Lisbon, Portugal. The two countries' teams marched together under the flag in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, and the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, but it should be noted that both countries competed separately in sporting events.

The flag represents all of Korea. The background is white. In the centre there is a blue outline of the Korean peninsula including Jeju-do to the southwest. Smaller islands are left out, but there is a variation that includes Ulleung-do and notably Liancourt Rocks. The flag has no status as an official flag of either country.

Really? This flag has been around for quite a while. I think it's pretty corny.
Just my opinion...

Certainly isn't a controversial design!

They forgot to add Dohk-Doh island (독도) in the design.

There should have been more thought put to it; more stripes or designs rather than a simple white background and a 'symbol' in the center.

In a way, a Japanese person can look at it and say, "Hey, these guys copied our national flag." And that only puts more merit to their history books where they say they "saved" Korea back in the early to mid 20th Century.
