South Korea Flag Meaning & History
South Korea’s flag has a long history, with the modern design first adopted on January 27, 1883. Before this time, South Korea did not have a national flag, which became apparent during preparations for the US-Korea Treaty of 1882. It was created by government officials Lee Eung-jun, Park Yeong-hyo, and Gojong, the Emperor of Korea. Minor modifications and color changes have been made over time, but the basic design remains unchanged.
The white background on the South Korean flag symbolizes purity and peace. The symbol in the center, the Taegeuk, is known in English as the ‘yin and yang.’ It comes from ancient Chinese philosophy, in which the symbol's two colors represent the universe's duality. The black lines are called trigrams, each representing a specific season, direction, family member, classical element, and meaning.
