image located by Esteban Rivera, 24 August 2015
I've found this 
flag and I can't identify what it is, or what it stands for. There's an 
inscription on the flag but unfortunately I can't read Korean. There's also this 
sign, showing what seems to be the coat of arms
of Ya Dong:

Now, the file is labeled "YadongFlag" but be careful, because when I was looking 
for information on this word, I found that Yadong is actually a slang term for 
porn... so hopefully someone can actually read the writing on the image and help 
identify the flag.

The inscription on the bottom of the flag is 야동초등학교, which Google translates 
for me as "Erotic Movie Elementary School." Taking that with a grain of salt and 
remembering that there is a town in Gyeonggi Province named Yadong-ni, I wonder 
if this is the flag for Yadong Elementary School. Anyone have any additional 
insight?
In fact, now that I take another look at the second photo that Esteban linked, 
it's a sign pointing to Ya Dong Elementary School, with the exact same Korean 
inscription on the sign as on the flag. I think we have a winner!
