Korean Governmental Flag

I have seen similar flags on some South Korean county and city web sites. There it was mentioned as e.g. "county council" flags or logo.

Miss Kaori Sekino translated the text on the Korean blue flag into Japanese and then I translated it into English:

The Korean words in the center of the flag means "government".
