SEOUL (AFP) – South Korea's large ambulatory sound traveler has devised a smartphone covering to restore a tired bespoken -- upbringing the domestic accepted over homes on important holidays.

The covering automatically displays the characteristic "Taegeukgi" alarum on the cover of phones in histrion fashion on domestic holidays, much as March 1 and August 15.

March 1 commemorates heroes of the independence shitting against Japanese complex rule, and August 15 is the period of liberation in 1945.

"We matured the covering to rekindle the bespoken of hoisting the domestic flag," Lee Joo-Shik, nous of newborn business at SK Telecom, told Monday's Korea Times.

"As we are in the ambulatory era where many grouping hit smartphones on hand we determined that these devices could be a means of upbringing the flag."

The app also provides instructions on how to raise a actual alarum as substantially as information on the story and organisation of the Taegeukgi. An MP3 file of the domestic anthem is included.

On the period before the realistic alarum is to be hoisted, the app uploads a posting on the user's Twitter or Facebook account, and sends messages to his or her friends on ethnic networks to encourage grouping to advert the event.
