I don't recall stating I am "grown". I'm just old.

If you want an ugly spectacle, you should see that

ex from 1988!

The white represents the crystal purity of soju.

The circle represents the wholeness of t he Korea penensula with the "red" Koreans to the north.

The symbol in the top left represents the number of people present if you ask a pretty girl out on a date (counting her friend that will come along).

The symbol in the bottom left represents Korea's Four Distinct Seasons.

The symbol on the top right represents the number of hours it takes to drive across Seoul.

The symbol on the bottom right represents the number of legs found on the critters floating in soju tent soup.

Grown men pouting is an ugly spectacle.

Damn girl—just get yourself all worked up, why don't ya:)

I never heard "metal" referred to concerning the flag. Or "wood" for that matter.

But it is obviously not as important to me as it is to you. 1988 was many ex-girlfriends ago. So you win — YA-HOOO

Now I will go back to my next ex-girlfriend for more entertaining endeavors

Using the internet to find information is not wrong. Copy large chunks of text without quotation marks or a citation is plagiarism. What's hilarious about your cut and paste job is that the original writer was not a native speaker of English, and you repeated some errors like "struggle each other" and "the harmonious state of the yin and yang is called taeguki." No, the red and blue yinyang in the center is called "taeguk." Add "ki," the Chinese character for flag, and you get "taegukki," Korea's version of our Stars and Stripes.

Did I do wrong? Is going to Google Earth to look up a landmark not OK?

GI – please let SONAGI win. I get the feeling winning is important to her/him.

With that said – back in 1988 school kids knew about their flag and what it stood for. I am willing to bet ten dollars that less than 10% of Koreans under the age of 40 could tell you about their flag. Just ask the next 10 students you meet and hold my winning until we meet.

Maybe your ex-girlfriend wrote this webpage from which Pete appears to have ~~plagiarized~~ borrowed some text. At least he was alert enough to Americanize the spelling of "colour."
