The South Korean flag, or Taegeukgi, centers on the Taegeuk-a red and blue yin-yang symbol representing cosmic balance and duality (e.g., fire/water, light/dark). Surrounding it are four black trigrams (gwae), each denoting fundamental elements and virtues: heaven, earth, water, and fire. The white background signifies purity, peace, and the Korean people’s traditional aesthetic values.
