They symbolize heaven, earth, water, and fire. There are four sets of black bars or Trigrams, at each corner of the flag which are symbolic of harmony and movement, with each having its own meaning. The circle at the center represents a balance of the forces that exist in the universe. The white color is a symbol of peace and purity. The flag has a white background with a red and blue symbol at the center. There is a lot to more to learn about the Flag of Korea, and I am really excited to discuss its history and its meaning, so lets get started! From the red and blue circle in the middle to the four sets of blacks bars surrounding it and the white the background on which they both sit. Just like any other flag from any other nation, the flag of South Korea has a deep meaning and symbolism to its people. It is a representation of the harmony or balance that all things in life bring to humanity.
It is divided into 3 parts, the circle, the trigrams and the white background. The South Korean Flag means supreme or ultimate.
