Distribution Industry: “Nursing Patriotism”

As the recent claims of Japan that Dokdo is Japan’s possession and the movement to distort its history textbooks have rapidly chilled Korean and Japan relations, Lotte Mart has displayed a giant sized Taegeuk flag (Korean national flag of Korea) 13.5 meters across and nine meters high in front of it’s world branch in Jamsil-dong to inspire patriotism on March 14. Employees of Lotte Mart are pledging allegiance to the flag.
