The taeguki was officially adopted as the national flag of South Korea on 15th October 1949. It marks the creation of the South Korean state in August 1948, but it is not the first time it has become a national emblem in South Korea.  In 1950, its composition was slightly adjusted as the trigrams moved to their current position. It is one of the symbols of the Republic of Korea, an East Asian country, which despite its small size is now the thirteenth largest economic power in the world.

All about the meaning of the South Korean flag

The flag of South Korea, known as the Taegeukgi, consists of three distinct elements. You can see a white background, a red and blue central circle that looks like the yin yang sign in its design and finally black lines drawn in the four corners of the flag.

The colour white symbolizes peace and purity, a colour that is often found in many democratic countries around the world.

The central circle is actually a Korean taijitu (yin yang) called um yang, whose upper part is red and the lower part is blue. This eum yang is called the "Taegeuk" on the Korean flag. It symbolizes the origin of all things in the universe and the complementary forces of the world: blue (Eum) for evil, red (Yang) for good.

The lines of the Korean flag, arranged diagonally around the central disc, are trigrams, called "gwe" in Korean. They can also be found in Chinese culture. These four trigrams symbolize the balance of the world and its vital forces. The trigram at the top left is the symbol of the sky (Kun), the one at the top right symbolizes water (Kam), in the lower part you find the fire on the left (Yi) and the Earth on the right (Kon). These four symbols together evoke the perfect balance of the earth, its harmony and the principle of movement. They can also symbolize, in order for Kun Kam Yi and Kon, the four seasons (spring, winter, autumn, summer), the four cardinal points (south, west, east, north) but also the four members of a family (father, daughter, son, mother).

All its symbols on the South Korean flag come from the Yi-King (also spelled Yi Jing): "the book of mutations", a book at the source of Chinese thought.
