In 2014, the brand "Imagine Your Korea" was released by the Korean Tourism 
Organization in response to the increase interest in South Korea due to the high 
profile individuals from the country (UN Secretary Ban Ki-moon, figure skater 
Kim Yuna and pop sensation PSY). The main purpose of the brand was to showcase 
that South Korea is welcoming to the world and highlighting many aspect of Korea 
that they are known for (food, history, pop culture, etc). A full explanation of 
the logo can be found at a brand info document at
http://www.imagineyourkorea.com/brand-story#brand-guidelines. 
Now 
for the flag itself, it is the logo on a white background. The logo uses 5 
colors, all in Pantone Coated (2767, 242, 298, 122 and 173, respectively). Page 
57 of the VI Guidelines, also at
http://www.imagineyourkorea.com/brand-story#brand-guidelines, shows a 
vertical banner for use but no actual free-flying flag. However, I feel the 
specifications are roughly the same from judging by the photo posted at Facebook 
(https://scontent.fmci1-2.fna.fbcdn.net/). 
On this page, it has the logo 60% of the length and centered on a banner. I took 
the same design with the flag and created the image, using the logos from
