Editing Flag of North Korea (section)

=== In North Korean propaganda ===
The North Korean flag is frequently used in [[Propaganda in North Korea|state propaganda]]. For example, propaganda posters often include the national flag, but it is depicted less prominently than symbols of ''[[Juche]]'', North Korea's state ideology attributed to Kim Il Sung. American scholar Carter Matherly argues that this is meant to symbolise national unity under the guidance of ''Juche''.{{sfn|Matherly|2019|p=102}} Massive North Korean flags are also displayed during the [[Arirang Mass Games]] in Pyongyang. One such display is made by thousands of people holding up coloured cards.{{sfn|The Guardian|2015}}{{sfn|Burnett|2013|p=18}}
