Korea's Flag Raised at San Francisco City Hall

On August 14, the Office of Mayor Daniel Lurie hosted a flag-raising ceremony at San Francisco City Hall for the Republic of Korea, marking Korea's National Day and the 50th anniversary of the sister-city relationship between San Francisco and Seoul.

Our Chairman, Hagen Choi, joined directors and members of the SF–Seoul Sister City Committee at the ceremony.

The ceremony capped a milestone year for the friendship: in April, Mayor Lurie led a delegation to Seoul to celebrate 50 years as sister cities, and this October the committee and the Seoul Metropolitan Government celebrated the anniversary together in San Francisco.
