China News Service, July 16th. Comprehensive foreign media reported that recently, the South Korean delegation staying at the Harumi Olympic Village in Tokyo hung up on the balcony a cheering banner adapted from the famous quote of the Joseon Dynasty General Yi Sun-sin, which caused dissatisfaction with some Japanese right-wingers and they carried it. The "Rising Sun Flag", which was once a Japanese military flag, went to the South Korean delegation to protest.

According to reports, after the South Korean delegation moved into the Olympic Village, a large number of South Korean flags were hung on the balcony of their third-floor room, and a slogan was attached below: "The minister still has 50 million people support and support."
According to the report, this slogan was hung by the Korean Sports Association, which was adapted from the famous quote of the famous Korean anti-Japanese warrior Yi Sun-sin, with the purpose of cheering for the players of the South Korean delegation.
Statistics show that in the middle of the 16th century, Japan launched a war of aggression against North Korea known as the "Imjin Japanese Rebellion". Between 1592 and 1598, it killed hundreds of thousands of Korean people and kidnapped countless Korean ceramic technicians.
During the Imjin Japanese Rebellion, Yi Sun-sin was brave when facing Japanese pirates led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
He was therefore regarded as an "anti-Japanese hero" by the Korean people.
Regarding this move by the South Korean delegation, some Japanese right-wing groups could not sit still.
On July 16, a number of Japanese right-wing activists held a demonstration in front of the Korean delegation’s dormitory building in the Tokyo Olympic Village, saying that the South Korean delegation had displayed "anti-Japanese slogans" and protested and demanded that the South Korean side take off the banner.
In the meantime, several right-wingers waved the "Rising Sun Flag," which was the Japanese military flag, in front of the building, and shouted in a loudspeaker: "South Korea's stupid anti-Japanese actions will not be tolerated, and the South Korean delegation should be expelled."
The report pointed out that the demonstration lasted for about an hour and the Japanese police did not take any measures.
In recent years, Japan-South Korea relations have continued to decline. Not only are island disputes and historical issues difficult to resolve, the two sides have also continued to engage in trade disputes and Fukushima nuclear sewage discharge issues.
