A visitor photographs the oldest national flag of South Korea currently in the country, the "Denny" version of the Taegeukgi, displayed at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul on Feb. 23, 2021. The museum will make the flag public from Feb. 23 to March 8 on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of the March 1 movement against Japanese colonial rule. The flag is called Denny's, as King Gojong (1863-1907) of the Joseon Dynasty gave it to U.S. consul Owen Denny, who had served as his foreign affairs adviser, when he returned home in 1890. (Yonhap)
