I didn't know that Pyeongyang started out using the Taegeuk-gi flag, either. Have no illusions -- even the longest-involved-with-Korea among us are still constantly learning new stuff -- the education never ends, and it never gets tiresome. Reading this blog is great for teaching me all sortza fresh info & perspectives, because the posters and commentariat are coming from so many different angles concerning "Korea", have had such different experiences with it -- many of them radically different from my own. I value that variety highly. Welcome to the Hole, Bigdig. I didn’t know that Pyeongyang started out using the Taegeuk-gi flag, either.

I just got back from Pyongyang and got my hands on a lot of old footage there. I'll try to post some of it on youtube. I actually bought a bunch of old propaganda cartoon videos which are some of the most interesting. This stuff is earlier than most of it, so kudos. Thanks for the links marmot.

Firstly, thanks for these links. Now, I must say I'm surprised you didn't know the North first used the Taegugki flag. Considering how much you know about Korea's history, I imagined this would've been old news to you. Robert, this is my first post, and after lurking for a while, I’ve decided to join.
