I'm surprised the Koreans apparently never noticed this either (of course for most Westerners this is something they hardly could be expected to realize). | ||

You see? I knew it would have had to have been pointed out before at some point. I never did see the interview, however. Links please? | ||

Btw for those who don't know, those aren't just random symbols that are in SK's flag. They have mythology/fantasy whatever background to them. Each one symbolizes like a shield or protective barrier against 4 elements, with SK being in the middle of the 4 barriers. | ||
