Kim Il Sung founded the Korean Worker's Party, the ruling political
organization of the nation. The Party flag is red bearing the party emblem
consisting of three crossed instruments--a hammer for the workers, a hoe for
the peasants and a brush for the intellectuals.
David Martucci, 28 September 1999
As mentioned, the flag of the KWP has the yellow symbol either in the
canton or centered. But I've found that it depends on who is displaying the
flag and how it is being displayed. When displayed vertically draped from a
building, the symbol is centered. When carried in parade by military units,
the symbol is in the canton.
