... that a South Korean Treasure was only returned to Korea from Japan 27 years after the end of the colonial period? Source: [1]
- ALT1: ... that the logo of South Korean company LG was based off an ancient roof tile? Source: [2] "그리고 LG의 출범과 함께 제정된 새 심벌마크가 ‘신라의 미소’로 통하는 ‘얼굴무늬 수막새’(보물 제2010호)에서 영감을 얻어 탄생했다는 사연이 소개됐다." -> "Upon LG's rebranding, it was announced that their new logo was inspired by the "Silla smile", "Roof-end Tile with Human Face Motif".

- Comment: I think ALT1 is a less interesting story than the orig hook but LG would resonate with more people. Also I had more than 5 DYKs on a previous account so I need to do QPQs

QPQ has been satisfied. The article is new enough and long enough. Earwig's Copyvio tool indicates that it is unlikely that there are any copyright violations. Both hooks are interesting and sourced appropriately. Overall, I see no reason not to approve this article. JJonahJackalope (talk) 21:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
