On March 1st, when the independence movement began in protest against Japanese colonialism, an apartment in Sejong City hung a Japanese flag instead of a Taegeukgi, incurring public resentment.
According to the internet community in Sejong City and the apartment management office on the 1st, the Japanese flag was hung on the veranda of an apartment in Hansol-dong this morning, and residents complained.
On that day, a resident said, “I was going to run the Taegeukgi this morning, but my son said, ‘Mom, someone put the Japanese flag on’, so I thought it was a joke, but it really was.” He wrote, “It’s absurd that this happened early in the morning because it was March 1, not another day.”

The apartment management office received a report from the residents and visited the household with the Japanese flag on it twice, but said it could not meet the residents.
An official from the management office said, “It seems that the residents are not at home because there is no sign of presence,” and “We plan to demand the withdrawal of the Japanese flag as soon as we meet the residents.”
An official from Sejong City also said, “We are currently trying to figure out how the Japanese flag was raised.”
On the same day as the 104th anniversary of March 1st, a media camera captured a reporter holding a Japanese flag at a press conference held by a conservative group near the statue of a girl in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
