The North Korean flag incorporates design elements characteristic of socialist states. The central red stripe represents patriotism and revolutionary spirit, while the white stripes signify purity and peace. The blue stripes symbolize unity and sovereignty.
It carries different symbolism from the Korean Unification Flag used by inter-Korean unified teams in international sporting events. Notably, during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the appearance of the North Korean flag amid the inter-Korean reconciliation mood garnered global attention, becoming a symbol of peaceful exchange through sports.
