Flags similar to the current Taegeukgi were used as the national flags of Korea by the Joseon dynasty, the Korean Empire, and by the Korean exile government during Japanese rule. It has continued to be used as a national flag even after the establishment of the South Korean state on August 15, 1948.

Together, the trigrams represent movement and harmony as fundamental principles. Each trigram represents one of the four classical elements
