朝日新聞入社式にハングル文字や韓国・中国の国旗？
Original review summary
The circulated image was altered: it was based on a photograph of Asahi Shimbun’s 2013 entrance ceremony, but the original showed neither Korean and Chinese flags nor a Hangul ceremony title. Asahi Shimbun’s public-relations office confirmed that a third party had intentionally altered the photograph.[S1]
