俺もちょっと頑張ってみた

This “flag” controversy was instigated by one Korean soccer player who was playing for a British football team in 2011.
He, after scoring a point, ridiculed Japanese by mimicking a monkey on the field.
This inappropriate behavior caused him to face a possible disciplinary action.
So, he attempted to explain away his action by saying “I spotted a “flag of rising sun” in the stands and naturally reacted to it.”
It was the moment that the flag of rising sun became a flag of war crime.
Until then, there was no complaint from Korean about using the flag of rising sun.
But after 2011, Korean started criticizing any symbols, marks, and designs resembling the flag of rising sun,
including a crab on a package of hamburger.
