China News Service, April 13. According to the "Han Minzu Daily" report on the 13th, recently, the logo of the inauguration ceremony of South Korean President-elect Yin Xiyue has caused controversy.
It was pointed out that the emblem was similar to the "concentric knot" used to bury the dead, so the Presidency Committee decided to revise the design.

According to reports, it has been pointed out that the "concentric knot" is similar to the "dead concentric knot" used when burying the dead.
If the "concentric knot" surrounds 4 wings, it is the "birth concentric knot" used for marriage and other occasions; if there are no wings, it is the "dead concentric knot", and the sign of the inauguration ceremony is similar in shape to the "dead concentric knot".
In this regard, the inauguration preparation committee said on the 12th that this issue has been considered from the beginning of the design stage, and the prototype itself was decided to use the "concentric knot" because it wanted to express a more comprehensive concept.
But it is deeply regrettable that some people have overly distorted its purpose and meaning.
The inauguration preparation committee also added that the committee has decided to upgrade the design of the logo and will unveil the new logo in the near future.
Earlier, according to Korean media reports, the South Korean presidential handover committee decided that the inauguration ceremony of the 20th president will be held on May 10 at the National Assembly Plaza in Yeouido, Seoul, as usual.
