This embroidered shoulder patch is a reproduction of an insignia observed on the black tactical uniforms of armed personnel serving under North Korea’s Ministry of Social Security. The circular design incorporates imagery derived from the national flag of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, featuring a red five-pointed star centered within a white disk and red field, surrounded by white and dark-blue rings.
The insignia has been documented on the upper sleeves of Ministry of Social Security personnel appearing in military parades and other official displays. These formations are commonly associated with heavily armed mobile security, public-order and internal-security duties. Due to the limited availability of official North Korean uniform regulations, the precise unit designation for this insignia is not publicly confirmed.
This reproduction is suitable for historical displays, uniform reconstructions, reenactment projects, research collections and military-insignia collections.

Historical Context
The Ministry of Social Security is North Korea’s principal uniformed public-security and national police organization. In addition to conventional policing responsibilities, the ministry controls armed formations responsible for internal security, public-order enforcement, protection duties and emergency response.
Personnel from the ministry’s armed and mobile units have appeared in official North Korean parades wearing black tactical uniforms, helmets, body armor and shoulder insignia displaying this circular red, white and blue design. The emblem closely reflects the central elements and colors of the North Korean national flag, allowing it to serve as a readily recognizable national and organizational marking on dark operational uniforms.
Although the patch is frequently associated with Ministry of Social Security tactical or special mobile personnel, its exact official Korean title and whether it is exclusive to one particular formation remain uncertain.
