Template:Short description Template:Expand Korean Template:Infobox coat of arms Template:Culture of Korea
The National Emblem of the Republic of Korea (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; Hanja: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler), also officially referred as Naramunjang (Korean: Script error: No such module "Lang".; Hanja: Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler, Template:Literal translation), consists of the taegeuk symbol present on the South Korean national flag surrounded by five stylized petals and a ribbon bearing the inscription of the official Korean name of the country (Daehanminguk), in Korean characters. The Taegeuk represents peace and harmony. The five petals all have meaning and are related to South Korea's national flower, the Hibiscus syriacus, or Rose of Sharon (Template:Langx; Hanja: 無窮花, mugunghwa).
The emblem was announced on 10 December 1963.[1][2][3][4] According to Brian Reynolds Myers, the flower and taegeuk symbols are generally considered by South Koreans to be symbolic of the "Korean ethnos" (Template:Langx).[3]
