KCTV yesterday issued
images mixed doubles final of the World Championship Table Tennis, North Korea beat South Korea on Saturday, and exhibited during the broadcast a marker with the flags and the official names of both countries.
This is the first time that North Korean state television shows intentionally at a sporting event the South Korean flag or “Taegeukgi” and its official name, “ROK” recalled the Donga.

So far showed no South Korean flag on blurred events or if it appeared in pictures provided by means of other countries.
What makes it even more surprising the sudden appearance of “Taegeukgi” is that it was an infographic made by North Korean television itself the only channel available to residents of the hermetic country.
As for the name of the neighboring country, North Korea often used “South Chosun” in their sports broadcasts, while alluding to his own country as “Joseon” in reference to the former name of the kingdom of Korea between 1392 and 1897 , transliterated as “Joseon”.
The North Korean regime, which tries to isolate its population from outside influences, has remained until today a strict policy of keeping out of the knowledge of the people most information coming from South Korea, as well as their emblem and national symbols.
In fact, a survey conducted last year by News Focus, a media specialist in North Korea, revealed that 84 of a total of 100 South Korean refugees unaware installed the “Taegeukgi” when they lived in their country of origin.
