Korean professor "Rising sun flag is war criminal flag" … Email protesting the entry of self-defense ship flag into Busan port

While a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force escort ship carrying the Rising Sun flag entered the port of Busan in South Korea, Seo Kyung-deok, a professor at Sungshin Women's University in South Korea, who is famous as an "anti-Japan professor", said, "I sent a protest email to the navy of my country on the 29th"

"From May 31st, troops from six countries, including South Korea, the United States, Japan, Australia, Singapore, and Canada, will participate in multinational exercises hosted by South Korea from the 31st of this month," Seo said on social media. "A Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force escort ship will enter the port of Busan today with the Rising Sun flag hoisted to conduct a rehearsal."

He continued, "As part of the global campaign to eradicate the Rising Sun flag, I sent an email to the navies of four participating nations, excluding South Korea and Japan, informing them of the historical truth that the Rising Sun flag is a flag of war crimes."

In an email, Professor Seo said, "Japan's self-defense flag is the Rising Sun Flag, which symbolizes imperialism and militarism in the past."

The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Rising Sun Flag publicity materials also include a photograph of the flag being hoisted on a self-defence ship, and according to the Self-Defense Forces Law Enforcement Ordinance enacted in 1954, the Maritime Self-Defense Force's flag uses the Rising Sun pattern. "The Japanese government officially recognizes that the flag of the Self-Defense Forces is the rising sun flag."

In particular, he pointed out, "However, Japan has used the Rising Sun flag proudly and has always performed insane acts to remind Asians of the horrors of war."

In addition, he added, "I attached a video about the Rising Sun flag to the email and a collection of case studies of international organizations and global companies that recognized the Rising Sun flag as a war criminal flag and changed it."
