Incheon City drew a picture of an independence activist holding the Taegeukgi on a Liberation Day commemorative banner, but the color arrangement of the Taegeukgi was reversed, causing controversy. Online criticism arose that the Taegeukgi was drawn incorrectly, and singer Kim Hee-chul also expressed his opinion on SNS about this. Incheon City explained that it expressed the independence activist looking up from below, but acknowledged that there was room for misunderstanding and removed the banner. Incheon City said that it would review designs more carefully in the future to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
