Talk:Flag of North Korea

message: Based on the Korean Wikipedia, the Korean (Hangul) name for this flag is 인공기. Can someone determine what its Hanja equivalent and its literal translation are? --Metric1031 23:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The short form of the name of the NK flag is "인공기". This should be included somewhere.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eunsung (talk • contribs) 23:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "North Korea had originally adopted a "taegeukgi" following independence from Japan with a taoist yin-yang symbol similar to that in the South Korean flag but later revised its flag to more closely reflect that of the USSR."
Does anyone have an image of this flag? I haven't been able to find it anywhere, and am wondering if it exists at all. - MK (t/c) 05:41, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

message: It should be noted that the vertical variant of the North Korean flag has the Red Star within the Circle facing upright  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.178.148 (talk) 11:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I wondered about this too. The article does not make it clear ('This is the proper vertical display', presumably of the same flag - whereas we're dealing here with two flags that do not match). In any case, in the horizontal version the line between the two upper side points of the star is horizontal and parallel to the two blue and white stripes, whereas in the vertical version it is not. The upper point, which is perpendicular to the blue and white stripes in the horizontal version, no longer is in the vertical version. Is there any precedent for a different-looking vertical version of a national flag, and does the DPRK constitution make provision for two versions? Or is this simply an error? Or poor design? I see that something similar seems to have happened with the Vietnamese flag, which also includes a five-pointed star - so perhaps having two different versions is standard procedure.213.127.210.95 (talk) 16:43, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Where do the codes #024fa2ff and #ed1c27ff come from? Translating the raw RGB values to hexadecimal would give this:

message: in the list of flags section, the flag of the Soviet Civil Administration has a link to the specified page with the text "The flag of the Soviet Union used during the Soviet colonization of the northern part of Korea from October 1945 to September 1948". Considering both the US and the USSR propped up different governments in their own regions, I think the word "Colonization" here is neither a neutral POV (especially since the Flag of South Korea page has a similar instance of the US flag being used for the USAMGIK, but that text just reads "The flag of the United States used during the American military occupation of the southern part of Korea from 1945–1948") nor accurate to most definitions of colonization.
