The Korean Sports & Olympic Committee told CNN Friday that it had not yet made an official request to Tokyo 2020 or the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to ban the flag. In a response to CNN, an IOC spokesperson said sports stadiums should be free of any political demonstration. "When concerns arise at games time we look at them on a case by case basis," the spokesperson said.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry said Thursday it had expressed regret over the decision via diplomatic channels. Earlier in the week, South Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Kim In-chul said the Japanese government needed to acknowledge its history.
"I believe the Japanese government is well aware that the Rising Sun flag is viewed by neighboring nations as a symbol of (Japanese) imperialism and militarism," Kim said on Tuesday, adding that the ministry planned to continue to work to change Tokyo 2020's decision.
The flag disagreement comes amid an ongoing trade spat between the two countries, which has been raging since July.

5歳の娘からこんなラブレターをもらった。「I LOVE YOU」を「一緒にヘビに吞まれてもいい」と表現するその感覚に、正直一瞬恋に落ち…いや、落ちないけど、しばらく頭の中で二人一緒にヘビに呑まれている様子を想像し、時間を奪われてしまった。 pic.twitter.com/z5ywJCFEbd
