Korean Flag Meaning: What do all the Symbols Mean?

The South Korean flag is probably one of the more immediately recognizable flags of the world. It has a very simple and easy to notice design. However, there are deeper meaning behind the colors and symbols on the flag.

The first things you might notice on the flag are the blue and red colors that make up the circle in the middle of the flag. Most of you might realize it looks like the commonly known yin/yang symbol and that’s because it is.

Winter in Korea be Like…

It’s been super cold the past few days with a big fat Siberian high bringing down cold air from Russia. It seems like in Korea, we have to choose between slightly warmer temps above freezing with dirty air, or clear blue skies and bone chilling temps.

I’m thinking I prefer the latter.

Umbrella Sales in Korea

I always like to say Korea has 5 seasons instead of 4 (technically true). The monsoon season (called 장마 in Korean) always comes with a bang and this year is no exception.

What usually ends up happening is that I will either forget my umbrella at home, at work, or some other random place and end up buying like 4 or 5 umbrellas over the course of the summer. I think we have about 10 umbrellas in our closet right now.
