Korean nationalists. The mountain range is along the North Korea-China border.
The mountain is also sacred to Koreans, its their version of Jerusalem/Mecca. They believe it to be the birthplace of the Korean people. This is why NK claims Kim Il Sung was born on the slopes of the mountain.

The Jurchens/Manchu also consider the mountain sacred and the birthplace of their people as well.

Why would South Koreans waved their flag in China of all places?

Changbaishan is known as 白头山, Baekdusan in Korean. In Korean origins myth Baekdusan is where the Korean people originated. In modern times Changbaishan is split territorially between PRC and DPRK.

ROK ultranationalists want to claim the whole of Changbaishan (and of course as much as they can on the China side of that mountain) and periodically make trouble over and in Changbaishan.
