The proportions of the national flag have been changed in the Constitution of the DPRK. This has happened for the first time since the republic's founding in 1948, the Yonhap agency reported.
In the text of the Constitution published on the official North Korean web portal Naenara, the proportions and design of the flag are described in Article 166. According to it, the national flag of the DPRK "has a broad red panel in the middle, narrow white stripes above and below it, then blue stripes, and in a white circle near the hoist on the red panel — a red five-pointed star."


The ratio of the flag's height to width is 1:1.65. As Yonhap notes, the Constitution previously specified a ratio of 1:2.
It had remained unchanged even after constitutional amendments were introduced in September 2023.
According to the agency, the change occurred amid DPRK leader Kim Jong Un's drive to forge his own governing style and national identity, while retaining some traditions of his predecessors.
