Translation; [Hello from Seoul]. It's different from the Rising Sun Flag!?

>"[ソウルからヨボセヨ]. 旭日旗とは違う!?"
> 韓国の艦艇も７年ぶりに参加した相模湾での先日の国際観艦式を巡って奇妙な論争が起きた。
> 韓国の李鐘燮国防相が国会で、観艦式で掲げられる「自衛艦旗と旭日旗は違う」と説明したところ、文在寅政権時代の高官らから「みじめな弁解だ」と批判されたのだ。
A bizarre controversy was ignited over the recent international naval fleet review in Sagami Bay, in which a S. Korean warship also participated for the 1st time in seven years.
At the S. Korean national assembly, defense minister Lee Jong-sup explained that "the flag of the Maritime SDF vessel flag," being hoisted at the international naval fleet review, "is different from the Rising Sun flag," and was criticized by high-ranking official(s) during the Moon Jae-in administration as "a miserable excuse."

> 自衛艦旗は「真ん中の丸の位置がやや傾いている」というのが李氏の言い分だが、1954年制定の自衛隊法施行令で、自衛艦旗には旭日の意匠を用いることが定められており、旭日旗の一種に違いはない。
> 韓国で「戦犯旗」と非難される旭日旗と別物の旗に、観艦式に参加した韓国軍関係者が敬礼しても問題ないと言いたかったようだが、無理があり過ぎた。
DM Lee Jong-sup asserted that the Maritime SDF vessel flag is "position of the center circleis slightly tilted." However, the SDF Law Enforcement Order enacted in 1954 stipulates that the design of the Rising Sun should be used for the flag of the SDF vessel flag, it's therefore doubtlessly one sort of the Rising Sun Flag.
It seems that he wanted to say that it's no problem even if the S. Korean military personnel who participated in the naval flet review ceremony salute to a flag different from the Rising Sun flag, which is denounced as a "war criminal flag" in S. Korea. However, it's irrational too much.

> そもそも韓国で旭日旗が問題視されだしたのも最近の話だ。
> 2011年にサッカーアジア杯の日韓戦で韓国選手が観客席の旭日旗に怒りを表したのが始まりとされる。
> 左派系の金大中、盧武鉉両政権時代も旭日旗を掲げた日本の艦艇を拒絶したことはなく、「旭日旗イコール戦犯旗」という主張そのものが最近つくられた「虚構の歴史」といえる。
To begin with, it's a recent story that the Rising Sun Flag has begun to be problematized in S. Korea.
What was the initiative for this trouble is allegedly that when a S. Korean football player (* Ki Sung-Yueng) expressed his anger at the Rising Sun flag in the audience during the match between Japan and S. Korea in the AFC Asian Cup (2011).
Even during the left-leaning Kim Dae-jung & Roh Moo-hyun administrations periods, it never rejected Japanese vessels hoisting the Rising Sun flag, therefore the assertion that "the Rising Sun Flag = war criminal flag" itself can be said to be a recently created "fictional history."

> 日本との安全保障協力を重視する尹錫悦大統領は、野党による「親日」非難に動じる様子がない。
> 尹政権の国防相にも「旭日旗への非難自体が的外れだ」と反対派を正々堂々と論破してほしい。
President Yoon Suk-yeol, who makes much of security cooperation with Japan, doesn't seem to be shaken by the opposition party's accusation of "pro-Japan."
I expect the defense minister of the Yoon administration to openly refute the opponents too, saying that "The criticism of the Rising Sun flag itself misses the point."
