South Korea Flag - Meaning, History, and Symbolism #1906792 (License: Personal Use)

The South Korean flag, or Taegeukgi, centers on a red-and-blue Taeguk symbol-representing yin and yang, or the balance of opposing forces-and is surrounded by four black trigrams (gwae), each denoting fundamental elements: heaven, earth, fire, and water. Adopted in 1883 and reinstated in 1948 after liberation, it reflects Confucian and Taoist cosmology. The white background signifies purity, peace, and the Korean people’s traditional attire.
