South Korea Flag - Symbolism, History, and Design #2260976 (License: Personal Use)

The South Korean flag, or Taegeukgi, features a white field symbolizing purity and peace, a central red-and-blue Taegeuk representing yin-yang duality and cosmic balance, and four black trigrams (Geon, Ri, Gam, Gon) in each corner denoting heaven, fire, water, and earth. Adopted in 1883 and reinstated in 1948 after liberation, it reflects Confucian and Taoist philosophical principles. Its design is both symbolic and deeply rooted in Korean cultural heritage.
