But in the good old ROK, it is illegal to burn the US flag (long time ally) but the police never enforce that law. While it is legal to burn the NK flag ( stated aim is to invade SK) but police don't protect that particular right. Strange country indeed.

I guess I was wrong. I might have predicted this when I saw the September 2002 North-South match. Those waving the blue Korean-peninsula flag seemed to be doing so only halfheartedly, and attempts to get the chant "Joguk tongil!" going fell rather flat. By the end of the match, "Daehan minguk!" seemed to be the preferred cheer. And I always figured the Red Devils as a bit on the reunificationista side. I guess I was wrong.

Last time I checked it is illegal to be in posession of an Ingonggi, and drawing one still puts you in violation of the National Security Law. “… but last time I checked, legally, the Ingonggi was just about the only flag it was OK to burn in the ROK…”

But, it you cut one up into 4 inch strips, it makes a great field expediency toilet paper. Don't use them in any system with plumbing, though. Jams the pipes up and repairs are messy.

Yesterday, a ????????? demonstration marched through my new neighbourhood, banners depicting burning and shredded American flags held high. I guess that wasn't enough, because they set down one of the banners so that those marching behind could walk all over it, after which the last people picked up what was left of the banner. I love my new neighbourhood. I’ve moved to Incheon for the next two years, to an apartment in Bupyeong.

It's ok to burn US flags, but not OK to burn NK flags? Just whose side is South Korea on? But nevermind, this is the NK sympathizing government so why doesn't that surprise me?

Just whose side is South Korea on?

But nevermind, this is the NK sympathizing government so why doesn’t that surprise me?
