South Korea: about the flag
South Korea's flag is called the Taegeukgi, and it was first drawn aboard a ship in 1882 by Park Yeong-hyo, a diplomat traveling to Japan. He sketched a design with a red-and-blue circle and four black trigrams, and King Gojong formally adopted it as the national flag the following year.
The circle in the center is the taegeuk, the symbol of yin and yang. The red half represents positive cosmic forces, and the blue half represents negative forces. The four trigrams in the corners stand for heaven, earth, fire, and water. Together they represent harmony and the balance of opposites. The white background symbolizes purity and peace.
The Taegeukgi was adopted by the Joseon dynasty on 27 January 1883. It was banned during Japanese colonial rule, and it became the flag of the Republic of Korea on 15 August 1948. The design was standardized in 1949.
