The name Taegukgi translated in English means “supreme ultimate flag.”

It is believed that the flag of South Korea is representative of the Korean race as a whole – not simply the South Korean nation-state.

The film “Tae Guk Gi” is named after the flag of South Korea.  In 1984, the exact dimensions of the flag were codified and in 1997, the exact colors were specified in a presidential decree.
