Wikipedia: The Unification Flag is a flag designed to represent all of Korea when North and South Korea participate as one team in sporting events.
Still according to Wikipedia, in recent years the North Korean government is using this flag outside of the sport context, at highly political border events.
Who created this flag?
In particular, was the flag created more by a side than the other?
According to this wiki the man who originally coined the idea was Han yongun. during the 3.1 march: 한반도기 (Wikipedia). But dismissed the idea and used the Korean flag instead.
It was discussed again in 1989 to be used as the flag for the formation of the Korean unified team for the 1990 Beijing Asian games. and first used at the world Table Tennis Championships in Japan in 1991.
