Dongbaek Medal

Dongbaek Medal (동백장; 東百章; Camellia Emblem) is a civil award of the Republic of Korea.[1] It is the third class of South Korea's Order of Civil Merit, which is the primary series of awards for Korean civilians.[2] Recipients need not be South Korean civilians, however; the honour has been bestowed upon some foreigners.
