Editing Flag of North Korea (section)

=== Outside of Korea ===
The North Korean flag has been mistakenly used by a number of international organisations to represent South Korea. The organising committee of the [[2003 Winter Universiade]] accidentally displayed the North Korean flag while explaining the accommodations for South Korean athletes. In 2008, the [[Asian Football Confederation]] used the North Korean flag in a post on its website about South Korea's previous hosting of the tournament. In 2023, the official website of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]] displayed the North Korean flag for South Korea in its list of participants.{{sfn|Kim|2023}}

The North Korean flag has also been used to insult or mock South Koreans online. For example, South Korean [[taekwondo]] athlete [[Park Tae-joon (taekwondo)|Park Tae-joon]]'s social media posts received numerous comments with North Korean flag emojis in them after he won gold at the [[2024 Summer Olympics]].{{sfn|Kim|2024}}
