About Korea Flag

Centered on a white rectangular field is a circular two-colour symbol (taeguk) split into a red upper half and a blue lower half by an S-shaped curve, resembling a yin-yang. In each of the four corners around the central circle sits a cluster of three black bars (trigrams) made of solid and broken horizontal strokes, rotated so one cluster appears near each corner.

The composition is flat, geometric and highly symmetrical: a plain white background with a bold red-blue roundel at the center and four stark black trigram groups arranged roughly diagonally from the center toward each corner.

What's in it: taeguk (yin-yang roundel) I Ching trigrams (sets of three bars)

Shapes: circle S-shaped divide (yin-yang) clusters of three parallel bars (trigrams) rectangular flag field

Style: national flag minimalist geometric flat colors symbolic

Central taeguk (red and blue yin-yang) visually evokes balance and harmony; the four surrounding trigram groups suggest classical I Ching elements and directional or elemental concepts.

Korea Flag Logo History

This design is the national flag known as the Taegukgi, used to represent Korea since the late 19th century. The flag’s central taegeuk (red–blue circle) and the four black trigrams derive from East Asian philosophical symbols (yin-yang and I Ching); the modern specifications and use as the national flag of the Republic of Korea have been standardized in 20th-century law.
