Can anyone read Korean? Written on a S. Korean Flag bring back

[ocsfollowme]

This was written in blue ink on the corner of a 2x3' South Korean Flag. Can anyone read it?

 

Thanks,

Thats not Hangul. Unless it is so poorly written I can't figure it out. I can read fluent Korean but I can't even make sense of it.

Yes, I just had a friend try to translate it and he said that he couldnt. Too poor of a cursive. So text lost to history.

 

Lesson to us all...write legibly so that people 60 years can make out what you said...so they can sell our things!

Are these the possibilities of what it could mean? Anyone of the four?

My Korean translator tells me the characters are Chinese and it appears to be someone's name.

The use of Chinese characters in Korea was and is very common. Family registers of Korean

peoples names and relatives are done in Chinese characters and Koreans needed to know how

to write their names in Chinese characters. Plus on the exterior walls by the doors prior to entering

into Korea home courtyards is normally a plaque with the family name written in Chinese characters.

If this is a Korean flag it is most likely the name of a Korean person who owned it written in Chinese

characters. It is very common for Koreans to own flags and they are posted on homes during

certain national holidays.
