Learn About Korea: Important Symbols

So when you think of South Korea what do you think of? King Sejong, Yi Sun Sin, or even K-Pop definitely could come to mind. Yet, what about the signs that represent Korea? The South Korean flag or the Taeguk are very distinct, but have you ever stopped and wondered what they mean and represent?

Korea did not have a national flag until 1883. Before that time the kingdoms of Korea did not think it necessary or important to create a flag. The first time this became an issue was in 1876 during the Joseon Dynasty.
