The Flag of South Korea, known as the Taegeukgi, features a white field symbolizing peace and purity. In the center, a red and blue circle represents the balance of the universe, with red symbolizing positive forces and blue representing negative forces. Surrounding the circle are four black trigrams, each representing different elements: heaven, earth, fire, and water. These trigrams are positioned at the corners of the flag, emphasizing harmony and balance in the world. The design reflects the philosophical principles of Yin and Yang and the importance of balance in Korean culture.
