On June 28, a group of 70 citizens held a performance on Dokdo, South Korea, where they unfurled a massive Taegeukgi (Korean national flag) measuring 30 meters in width and 20 meters in length.
Seo Kyoung-duk, a professor at Sungshin Women's University, stated on his social media today (June 29), "This performance was organized as part of the 'Republic of Korea History Tour - Dokdo Edition,' planned in collaboration with the travel technology research institute Turista." He added, "Participants unfurled the massive flag together at the dock on Dokdo's East Island to reflect on the significance of Dokdo."
The flag holds extra meaning as the 70 participants pooled their own money to fund its production.
Photos of the performance are currently spreading across social media both domestically and internationally. There are plans to produce a video in multiple languages to serve as content that naturally informs overseas internet users that "Dokdo is Korean territory."
Ten years ago, a similar performance drew significant attention when a massive 60-meter by 40-meter Taegeukgi was floated in the waters between Dokdo's East and West Islands.
Professor Seo stated, "Moving forward, we plan to continue this global cultural content campaign to promote Dokdo to the world through Taegeukgi performances that encompass land, sea, and air, such as pursuing a massive Taegeukgi drone show over Dokdo."
