On my recent trip to South Korea, we were driving through
the Gangnam District (Gangnam-gu, 강남구) of Seoul. At yet another
clustered display of flags, I saw the South Korean national flag, the
flag of Seoul, and the flag of Gangnam District all displayed together.
The flag of Gangnam District features the district logo in blue on a
white field. The logo itself is composed of a blue oval stretching from
upper right to lower left, with the stylized Hangul characters ㄱ
(kiyeok, making the g sound) and ㄴ (nieun, making the n sound),
countercharged, overlapping the blue oval and the white field. Those
two characters are the first characters in the two syllables of the
district's name. Below the oval symbol is the word "Gangnam-gu" written
in blue Hangul script.

District also use flags in two more variants.
