[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jung Won-oh) will select one apartment complex from August 8 to 15 to carry out a Taegeukgi flag-raising campaign in celebration of the 76th Liberation Day.

The apartment complex Taegeukgi flag-raising campaign, organized by the Saemaeul Movement Seongdong-gu Branch (Chairman Yoo Young-seok), has been held annually since 2001. It is a campaign that selects an apartment complex as a pilot site to effectively promote the raising of the Taegeukgi flag.

This year, ‘Tenzhill Complex 1 (33 Muhak-ro, Seongdong-gu)’ located in Wangsimni Doseon-dong was selected. Starting from the 10th of this month, 1,400 home-use Taegeukgi flags were distributed and residents were encouraged to raise the flags to honor the patriotic martyrs and foster love for the country.

Additionally, instead of the Taegeukgi waving event held last year, an online ‘Taegeukgi Acrostic Poem Contest’ will be conducted. Participants will receive prizes such as cafe vouchers within the apartment complex, aiming to increase interest in the Taegeukgi and participation in the event safely through a non-face-to-face method.

The district has been intensively promoting the ‘Taegeukgi flag-raising’ project around national holidays to foster patriotism and pride among residents.

Targeting major roads, key facilities, and apartment complexes throughout the area, last year a total of nine campaigns were conducted to raise street flags on national holidays. This year, a permanent Taegeukgi flag-raising street will be operated along approximately 1.3 km from Doseonsa Intersection to Eungbong Intersection, with 194 Taegeukgi flags displayed. The flags will be regularly inspected for contamination and damage, and the flag-raising campaign will be actively promoted according to national holidays and the Love for the Country Week.

Jung Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “I hope this will be an opportunity to foster love for the country through the raising of the national flag,” and added, “I hope this Taegeukgi flag-raising event will honor the noble sacrifices of the patriotic martyrs and serve as an opportunity to unite the capabilities of the residents.”
