Description
The Flag of South Korea, or Taegukgi (sometimes also Romanized as Taegeukgi) is the national flag for the Republic of Korea. It has three parts: a white background, a red and blue Taeguk, which is a red and blue Taiji yin- and yang-symbol in the center, and four black trigrams, which are selected from the original eight, on each corner of the flag.
The white background is a traditional Korean color. It represents peace and purity. The circle in the middle is derived from the philosophy of yin and yang and represents the balance of the universe. The blue section represents the negative cosmic forces, and the red section represents the opposing positive cosmic forces. The trigrams together represent the principle of movement and harmony. Each trigram (hangul: kwae) represents one of the four classical elements.
