  "summary": "The Korea Times has released promotional footage of a massive Korean national flag, measuring 30 by 20 meters, unfurled on Dokdo Island to commemorate Dokdo Day. The drone-captured 60-second video, shared by professor Seo Kyoung-duk from Sungshin Women's University in Seoul, showcases the flag being raised by 70 Koreans at a pier on the island. The footage also includes images of Dokdo Island in the East Sea and a recommendation for foreigners to visit as part of a global promotional campaign for Dokdo. Korea maintains that Dokdo is its historical, geographical, and internationally recognized territory, rejecting Japan's claim to the islets and maintaining a small police detachment to demonstrate its control over the territory.",
