ORF zeigt US-Flaggen schwenkende Südkoreaner – warum?

>The [flags of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States) or pro-[Trump](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump) slogans were also rampant during the rallies. This is because Taegeukgi crowds have faith that the US’s military intervention prevented communism to override the South during the [Korean War](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War).[^([15])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taegukgi_rallies#cite_note-Lee_2018-15) The US flags therefore symbolize more than an ally of South Korea. To Taegeukgi protestors, **the US is expected to be hawk-eyed against** [**left-wing**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing) **forces and any other pro-North Korea sympathizers**.^([15])

>The broadcasting network [JTBC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JTBC), based on the testimony of participants and leaders of pro-Park groups, reported on January 26 that pro-Park Taegeukgi crowds were paying people to attend rallies so as to inflate the number of participants. General members of the [Korea Parent Federation](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Korea_Parent_Federation&action=edit&redlink=1) (Korean: 대한민국 어버이연합) could receive KR₩20,000 (US$18), and the pay was sometimes raised to ₩60,000 ($53). Some people in financial difficulties, including the homeless, could be paid ₩50,000 ($44) if they took a shower and tidied their appearance. Any young women with babies could receive ₩150,000 ($133).[^([22])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taegukgi_rallies#cite_note-22)

TLDR: Scheint einfach ein typisch gekaufter Mob zu sein wie bei vielen solcher Impeachments-Demos. Die USA Flagge ist einfach als eine Anti-Nordkorea Symbol zu sehen.
