Korean Unification Flag

Flag representing all of Korea

The Korean Unification Flag, also known as the Flag of the Korean Peninsula, is used to represent all of Korea when North Korea and South Korea participate as one team at international sporting events. It was introduced at the 1990 Asian Games but not used by a unified team until the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships. It is a white field charged with a sky blue silhouette of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju Island, and Ulleungdo. The flag's depiction of Korean territorial claims has earned it the chagrin of Japan, which claims the Liancourt Rocks. The disputed islets were added to the flag in 2003 but removed in 2018 upon the request of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Outside of sports, the flag has been used to express support for Korean reunification in general, particularly in North Korea.
