Facts about the flag of South Korea
Date adopted: 25 January 1950
Designer: Park Yeong-hyo
Symbolism: The flag features a red and blue Taegeuk in the center, representing balance in the universe. The four trigrams around it symbolize heaven, earth, fire, and water.
- Pantone colours: Pantone 186 C, Pantone 294 C, White, Black
- Aspect ratio: 2 : 3
- Hanging protocol: The South Korean flag is typically hung with the white background facing outward, the red (upper) half of the Taegeuk symbol on top, and the four black trigrams positioned correctly: Geon (☰) in the upper left, Ri (☲) in the upper right, Gon (☷) in the lower left, and Gam (☵) in the lower right.
- Design pitfall: A common mistake is reversing the Taegeuk symbol colors or misplacing the trigrams, which alters the flag's meaning.
