The flag of an American state is hung on the flagpole of Gwangju City Hall, drawing attention as to why.
On the morning of the 3rd, Gwangju City hoisted the state flag sent by the governor of Virginia, USA, on the flagpole of the government building. The flag is known to symbolize ‘the end of a tyrant.’ On the day that the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Office began executing the arrest warrant for President Yoon Seok-yeol, a flag was raised that seemed to symbolize this.
The Virginia state flag depicts Virtus, the ancient Roman goddess of goodness, defeating and stomping on a tyrant or god of tyranny, and the Virginia state slogan, “Sic semper tyrannis,” is written in Latin. This phrase contains the meaning, ‘This is how tyrants will always be.’
