The world's fourth tallest flag pole stands at the entrance of Gijeongdong (160 meters tall) flying a 250 kg North Korean flag. This tower was not originally as tall as it is now, but when the flag pole in Daeseong-dong was extended, thus making it taller than the Gijeongdong pole, the North again quickly extended their pole taller. However, due to the weight of the flag, the pole would not be able to support it if it becomes wet, hence the immediate lowering of it when it begins to rain.

  • There is - I believe - a bounty on that flag. Anyone who gets that flag and delivers it to the Blue House in Seoul gets 500,000 United States Dollars. Any takers?
