The Korean National Anthem, titled "Aegukga," is the national anthem of South Korea. It was composed in the late 19th century, with lyrics written by Yun Chi-ho and music by Ahn Eak-tai. The anthem expresses love for the country and a desire for its prosperity and peace. In North Korea, a different version of "Aegukga" is used, with altered lyrics and music. Both anthems share themes of patriotism and national pride, reflecting the cultural significance of the song in both South Korea and North Korea.
