The Korean National Sports and Tourism Committee, on the 29th, before and after the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, wearing a uniform with the Asahi flag at the stadium and bringing in the Asahi flag. Adopted a resolution calling on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Organizing Committee to forbid cheering.

The resolution pointed out that the Asahi flag was used as a symbol of Japanese imperialism and militarism before the war. The Nazi German symbol Harken Kreuz (the Kagi Cross) has not been used in official events, including international sports competitions, while the Asahi flag has become a tool of support without sanctioning. I am worried that the historical meaning of the Asahi flag is misrepresented in the world. " (Seoul = Kamiya Kaoru)
