Can't read/understand Korean (OK, I'm not perfect), so checked non-Korean sites.

3 July was Pilots' Day in ROK.
The KF-16 crash on 20 July 2007, involved a ROKAF Captain whose father was also a ROKAF pilot killed in accident in 1984.
After this crash, ROKAF decided to remake the pilot's red scarf, to raise pilots' morale, and requested fashion designer Andre KIM. He agreed and accepted no design fee.

During ceremony with ROKAF REMFs, Korean War ROKAF retired/veteran pilots, and ROKAF active-duty pilots, in Seoul, on 3 July 2008, he presented the first redesigned red scarfs to ROKAF.
The redesigned red scarfs will be distributed to all ROKAF active-duty and Korean War retired/veteran pilots.

] Even though I was interviewed, I'm not in the video.

The vid seems to show more of the JASDF pilot, if only because his flag is more salient on his shoulder, and not because he looks vaguely like Ichiro.

Isn't Outer Mongolia more pro-Russia/pro-USSR, than pro-ROK/pro-USA?
