THE CIRCLE in the middle is the Ying and yang symbol which represents
total harmony and balance. The red upper section represents the yang and
the blue lower section stands for the yin.
THE FOUR TRIGRAMS surrounding the circle denote the process of yin and
yang going through a spiral of change and growth. The three unbroken lines
at the upper left represent heaven (kun), the three broken lines at the
lower right represent earth (kon), the two broken lines with an unbroken
line in the middle at the upper right represent water (kam), and the two
unbroken lines with an broken line in the middle at the lower left represent
fire(yi).
THE WHITE BACKGROUND of the flag symbolises the purity of the Korean people
and their peace-loving spirit. The flag as a whole is symbolic of the
ideal of the Korean people to develop forever together with the universe.
